Wife wins £1m EuroMillions jackpot just weeks after playing prank on husband claiming £250k win
Daniel Peart refused to believe wife Charlotte had scooped the EuroMillions prize when she rang him to tell him she had won
A WIFE has won £1million on EuroMillions – just three weeks after she pranked her husband that she hit the jackpot.
Charlotte Peart, 28, felt like the boy who cried wolf when she called husband Daniel to tell him she had won, only for him not to believe her.
Self-employed carpenter Daniel was at work when he got the call from an excited Charlotte.
But he refused to fall for the same prank twice and passed the phone onto his brother.
What Daniel did not realise was that Charlotte had matched five numbers on EuroMillions HotPicks in the draw on 28 August.
“I didn’t believe her at all because we like to wind each other up,” said Daniel.
He said it was only when she sent him a screenshot of the winning message that he realised it was true, and was “stunned”.
Admin worker Charlotte said: “He said ‘I can’t talk to you right now love’ and ended up putting his brother on the phone.
“It was definitely crazy and not a normal day.”
The couple are planning to buy a larger property in their hometown of Whittlesey, near Peterborough, an upgrade on their three-bedroom house.
The couple have three kids together and want them to all have their own rooms.
Dean added: “All the kids have earned their own bedrooms, they're all excited about that and we're looking forward to the next adventure in our lives."
Mrs Peart used the last £1.50 in their online lottery account to enter the draw, after buying two EuroMillions tickets.
The pair, who met at secondary school and have been married for five years, have treated their children to hoverboards and a Nintendo Switch.

Mr Peart is looking to move into property development, and said he hopes the win will mean security for the family.
"The biggest thing for us is we get to spend more time as a family and we don't have to worry so much as what we're used to now," he said.
