A couple who discovered their teenage son was clear of cancer a few days after winning a £2m lottery jackpot say it is the “most amazing feeling ever”.
John and Allison McDonald bought a lucky dip ticket that matched all six numbers on Wednesday 18 December.
Three days later, the couple from Stockton-on-Tees heard that 15-year-old Ewan was free of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a form of cancer that develops in the lymphatic system.
John, 62, said: “It is just like all of our lifelong dreams came true in the space of three days.
“What a start to 2020. Everyone always dreams of winning the lottery at Christmas – and talks about how amazing this would be – but Allison and I never believed it would happen to us – and it has.
“And then to receive news that Ewan’s latest scans are all clear is just truly amazing. We are so thankful. 2020 is certainly looking like being one amazing year for the three of us.”
