Woman who dumped boyfriend after winning £1m on scratchcard splashes cash with NEW man – while leaving ex with nothing
A LOTTERY winner who dumped her boyfriend after scooping £1m on a scratchcard has got a new fellah and is flaunting a flash £50,000 BMW bought with the winnings.
Charlotte Cox is at war with ditched lover Michael Cartlidge over the lucky jackpot ticket which he claims she promised to share with him.
Operator Allwyn ruled mum-of-one Charlotte, 37, the rightful claimaint.
And six months on she has shared a cosy snap online of her getting close to new fella Kyle East on a beach at sunset.
They appeared close in the photo, which she shared publicly and prompted scores of likes from pals.
Sources said Charlotte also whisked Kyle on a luxury holiday to Turkey as their relationship hots up.
They even set up a catering firm together as Charlotte looks to cash in on her monster winnings.
But a burger van she bought has already broken down – halting her money-spinning new business.
In another post that will enrage ex Michael, Charlotte shared a photo of a £50,000 silver BMW – purchased from her winnings.
And she laughed off the lotto controversy – which became a huge talking point after the Sun broke the story – as friends poked fun at the row with Michael beneath the photo of the Beemer.
One wrote: “Blimey!!! Where d’you get the money for that?!!” with a wink emoji.
And Charlotte laughed along, responding: “like the world don’t know!”
She then added: “I won’t tell anyone I’ve won the lottery but my ex will”, with a cry-laughing emoji.
And when another pal commented “sex” beneath the pic of the Beemer, Charlotte cheekily responded: “better than!!!”

Others applauded her for “living your best life” and urged her to “enjoy” her new wheels.
Charlotte dumped engineer Michael, 39, just a week after buying the lucky jackpot ticket at a Nisa cornershop in Spalding, Lincs, in November 2023 .
Michael is now taking legal action against his ex saying it was his idea to buy the card, that he had tried to transfer her the money to buy it, and claiming she said she would share the windfall.
Speaking to The Sun he said: “I can openly admit that we wouldn’t have got that ticket without Charlotte, but she wouldn’t have got it without me either.
“I know it was her bank account that paid for it, but it should go 50-50, morally.”
Charlotte, of Spalding, Lincs., previously rubbished his claims, telling The Sun: “I bought the ticket. He didn’t transfer me the money.”
She chose not to comment when approached by The Sun last night.
