A mother of three recently discovered she had won £1m on the EuroMillions Lottery only 10 minutes after coming across a letter telling her she had beaten breast cancer. Lynne Price, 55 is a South Wales laundry worker who decided to celebrate by having a long and relaxing bath. According to the reports, Lynne was at her home in New Tredegar, and when she opened the letter, she surprisingly found that her breast cancer scan results are clear. After some time, David rushed home from work to announce they had won £1million. The mother said she was in total shock after hearing the news. She added that she was shaking and, 'lost for words' something that has never happened to her before, according to her.

David said he went home to inform Lynne but she already had some big news of her own. Lynne was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and went through a stage of treatment before the final scan in October.
