When the Davies family took home £61million

In 2016 the Davies family won £61million on the EuroMillions.

Stephanie Davies, then 23, reluctantly bought a ticket on Friday night after mum Sonia phoned from Florida and begged her to buy one.

Then 53-year-old Sonia was in the US having vital keyhole surgery to remove a cancerous tumour, and had a feeling she would go on a winning streak after the op was a success.

Sonia, who worked as an administration assistant, had cancer in the parathyroid glands in her neck.

The Welsh family said they were the “luckiest people on the planet” after scooping an enormous amount of cash.

This happy family couldn’t avoid controversy as it was reported father of the family Keith, 55, of Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, would share his cash with twins Holly and Abby, 23, and Natasha, 24 — his daughters with ex Mandy.

But it was reported that Keith’s partner Sonia’s estranged son Spencer Pugh would not see a penny of the £61million EuroMillions win.
