The street, in Oswestry east, is one of 20 winners announced on Friday.

The lottery works with players signing up with their postcode and paying £12 per month.
Players are then "automatically entered into every draw and prizes are announced every day of the month" with a third of the ticket price goes to charities that help "amazing causes every single day".
It is the second winner in the area in three months after residents of nearby Balmoral Close also won £1,000 in March.
