A mother-of-three found out she won the lottery just minutes after being told she had beaten breast cancer - in the family's third lotto win.

Lynne Price, 55, opened a letter saying her scan results were clear moments before her husband David came home from work to announce they had won a million pounds.

The pair hugged each with joy before Lynne went for a two-hour soak in the bath to let the double whammy sink in.

Mrs Price said: 'I'd just read the letter saying I had the all clear when David came home from work to say we'd won the lottery.

'I can't tell you what I said, it's too rude, but I was in total shock.

'I was shaking and totally lost for words which never happens.

'I went and had a bath for two hours and just lay there trying to take it all in.'

Delighted Mr Price, 53, checked his ticket in work to discover he and his wife had won a whopping £1million on the Euromillions Millionare Maker.

He said: 'I went home to tell Lynne but she had some big news of her own.

'The letter saying she had the all clear is worth more than a million to me.'

Laundry worker Mrs Price was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and, after having treatment, underwent a scan in October.

The couple, from New Tredegar, South Wales, revealed it is the third huge Lottery win for their family.

They are distantly related to Ade Goodchild, 58, who won £71m on Euromillions in March.

And Mr Price's sister Judith was part of a Cardiff cigar factory syndicate that scooped a fortune back in the nineties.

Keen Wales rugby fan Mr Price said: 'It's pretty amazing to have three big winners in one family.'

He revealed his workmates at British Airways in Pontllanfraith, Caerphilly, nicknamed him 'Lucky Dai,' before his big lottery win.

Mr Price added: 'It was always a bit of a joke, but now it's really come true. I still can't quite believe it.

'We've been doing the lottery since it started - you put your money on but you don't really expect to win a million.'

The keen climber will be on top of the world next year when he climbs to Everest base camp on a three-week expedition.

He was saving up for the once-in a-lifetime trip in May but now he's been able to pay it off in one go.

The couple, who have three children aged 32, 26 and 24 and an 11-year-old grandson Corey, are also planning a trip to China, which has always been their dream.

They both plan to carry on working while they work out what to do with their jackpot winnings.

David bought two Euromillions tickets while buying a pint of milk from his local corner shop Bal's Best-One Convenience Store in New Tredegar.

A National Lottery spokeswoman said: 'David and Lynne have such a happy story to help us celebrate 25 years of the lottery.'
