The mother
in a family who won £61million on the EuroMillions lottery told her
daughter to buy a ticket after 'cheating death' with surgery on a
tumour.
Sonia
Davies, 53, is one of five winners in the family syndicate, along with
her partner Keith Reynolds, 55, daughters Stephanie, 23, and Courtney,
19, and Stephanie's boyfriend Steve Powell, 30. They will get
£12.2million each.
Stephanie
purchased six Lucky Dip tickets on the evening of the draw after
receiving a call from her mother, who was in Florida after undergoing
keyhole surgery to remove a tumour on her parathyroid gland.
Ms
Davies said today: 'I had the surgery a week ago today. Friday was the
first day I felt, wow, I'm cured, I feel good, it doesn't hurt so much.
'I
felt like I had cheated death and felt so so lucky. You just feel like,
we're on a roll, let's buy a lottery ticket because we're so lucky.'
