Mrs Johnson, 56, an accountant, said: "Peter was reading the Sunday papers, and when he got to the section where the Lotto numbers were, he read them out so I could check the ticket.
"We couldn't believe it when we realised we had won, I rang my son straight away.
"I was shaking but we decided to go and play bowls, although I couldn't concentrate. We are so happy."
Mrs Johnson has one son, who is in the RAF, while Mr Johnson, 73, has six children, 14 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
The couple have played the lottery since it began more than 13 years ago and bought their winning ticket at a supermarket in Hunslet, Leeds.
