Grandparents' lottery win to go on new knees
The couple from Greater Manchester won £1 million
Grandparents who scooped £1 million on the lottery are planning to spend their winnings on a pair of new knees.
Malcolm and Bev Dixon, from Leigh, Greater Manchester, initially thought they had won £1,000 before realising they were in line for £1 million after matching five numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw on Wednesday January 29.
Top of the shopping list for the couple, who have 13 grandchildren, are new knees for Mrs Dixon, 50.
Mr Dixon, 43, said, "This win couldn't have come at a better time. Bev is in constant pain with her knees so this will definitely be the first big spend.
"Your health is so important - the win will enable us to afford to give Bev a totally new lease of life."
The couple, who celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary on Sunday, are also planning to move out of their rented home and buy a house.
