Response

Thank you for your request which has been processed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

In your email you have requested:

1. Where can I find all the winners of the lottery over the past 5 years with dates?
2. Can I also find information on how many tickets are sold per lottery per week?

On 03/10/2023 you clarified the scope of part two of your request to cover a period of three years.

Our responses are as follows:

1. The Commission does not hold information on winners of the Lottery therefore this information is not held.

3. We have been unable to process part three of your request based on the information provided. Please could you clarify the meaning of this part of the request to help us to identify the relevant information?
