		</div><p>A couple who won a £2m lottery jackpot three days before finding out that their teenage son is clear of cancer have said: <em>“It is just like all of our lifelong dreams came true.”</em></p>
<p>John and Allison McDonald have described how their their Lucky Dip ticket matched all six numbers to scoop the Lotto jackpot on Wednesday, December 18.</p>
<p>Three days later, Mr and Mrs McDonald, from Stockton on Tees, England were given the news that their 15-year-old son, Ewan, had finally been given the all-clear after being treated for cancer all year.</p>
<p>Mr McDonald said: <em>“It is just like all of our lifelong dreams came true in the space of three days.</em></p>
<p><em>“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.</em></p>
<p><em>“And then to receive news that Ewan’s latest scans are all clear is just truly amazing. We are so thankful.</em></p>
<p><em>“2020 is certainly looking like being one amazing year for the three of us!”</em></p>
<p>Ewan was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in May last year and underwent chemotherapy treatment.</p>
<p>Both Mr McDonald, 62, a security officer who frequently worked 70-hour weeks, and Mrs McDonald, 49, who worked in an opticians, have now handed in their notices at work.</p>
<p>Mrs McDonald said: <em>“This is just the most amazing feeling ever.”</em></p>
<p>Mr McDonald described how he checked his ticket while having a hot drink at work.</p>
<p><em>“As I continued to check, I realised I had matched all six. I was just in total shock,</em>” he said.</p>
<p><em>“My legs were trembling as I called Camelot to check that what I was seeing was in fact right.”</em></p>
<p>He told a news conference how he called his wife, who was at the dentist.</p>
<p>Mrs McDonald said that she saw a missed call on her phone.</p>
<p>She said: <em>“I just thought, ‘Oh no, why is he calling me – something must be wrong, something terrible has happened, has something gone wrong with Ewan’.</em></p>
<p><em>“Never did I believe when I called him back he would be telling me we had won the Lotto jackpot.”</em></p>
<p>She said: <em>“It is fantastic that this win has not only given us the financial security to buy a lovely new family home – but also time. We can both now afford to stop work and spend time with our family making memories – something we could only have ever dreamed of doing.”</em></p>
<p>The couple have two other children and three grandchildren.</p>
