"That’s a lot of money… amazing. Lots of adventures will happen with that cheque."
Pet-crazy Nicola Almoosa signed up to play just last September because Postcode Lottery players back animal welfare charities.
Now the mum-of-four will be heading across the globe again in search of more exotic creatures after her windfall.
Nicola shared a £1 Million pot with six other neighbours in Nebo after SY23 5LE landed the Postcode Lottery Millionaire Street prize. Every ticket was worth £125,000, but one neighbour doubled their prize by playing with two.
She said there are so many countries she would like to visit and she’d like to make sure she visits as many as possible.

Jill Fenney was left stunned when her £125,000 cheque was revealed on the anniversary of her older brother’s death.
The retired wine merchant secretary lost Steve nine years ago to the day at the age of just 48.
"I like to think that he’s had some part in this. He’s looking down on us, and this is all part of him."
Now she and part-time driving instructor husband Dave are drawing up their wish list, including a new car and a river cruise in France.

Further along the lane, Jackie Sisley and her partner John Huxter were overcome with emotion when she revealed her £125,000 cheque.
The couple signed up for Postcode Lottery because they wanted to support charities.
Jackie said the win means a great deal to them and they will send their spaniel to the vet to get her teeth cleaned, get solar panels installed and give their girls something.
The neighbours all joined Postcode Lottery to help local, national and international charities and were delighted to learn that their win means charities near Nebo have benefitted from funding.
