A couple who scooped a £1 million lottery windfall say they now feel like double winners after they were able to help both their daughters have children through IVF. As soon as they realised they had won on the EuroMillions Raffle in February 2018, Ruth and Mark Chalmers's thoughts turned to the struggles their daughters Natalie and Leanne each had with the condition polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Now Mr and Mrs Chalmers, from Halifax, West Yorkshire, are celebrating life as grandparents as they spend time with Natalie's son Koby, now three, and Leanne's son Brogen, 19 months. Mr Chalmers said that his first thought after he realised they had won was to make sure his daughters got on the property ladder and were mortgage-free.
Mr Chalmers said: "And, after that, it was the grandchildren. Natalie had gone through it for quite a number of years of trying to get pregnant and different things going on with her medical conditions.
