Mr.Lynne Price, 55, was notified by her husband of $ 1.3 million just 10 minutes after receiving the result of breast cancer treatment.
"I just read a letter saying I had no cancer cells when David came home from work and said we had won the lottery," Lynne, from New Tredegar, Wales, told the story. last month.
The couple hugged each other happily before Lynne soaked in the tub for two hours to regain her composure.
"I was totally shocked. I was dizzy and didn't know what else to say. I took a shower for two hours and just lay there trying to see everything that just happened," Lynne said.
David, 53, a British Airways employee, bought two Euromillions lottery tickets at a local convenience store. He said he searched the lottery while at the company and found that the couple won a million pounds ($ 1.3 million) of the Euromillions Millionare Maker lottery.
"I came home to inform Lynne but she also had her own good news. The letter that said she was cured was worth more than a million to me," David said.
Lynne was a laundry worker, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and has been treating for 4 years. Lynne and her husband say this is the third time her big family won the big prize.
Earlier, in March, Ade Goodchild, a relative, won £ 71 million of the lottery Europe. David's sister also bought lottery tickets with colleagues at the tobacco factory and won in the 1990s.
"We have been playing the lottery since it was born but we don't really think one million won," David said.
