A health coach from Antigua and Barbuda has won two tickets worth almost US$1mil (RM4.23mil) to be among Virgin Galactic's first space tourists – and plans to take the trip of a lifetime with her teenage daughter.

Keisha Schahaff, 44, said she wanted to cross the final frontier with her 17-year-old, a science student living in Britain who dreams of one day working for NASA.
