Winners by Methods of Purchase

Request

Please could I request details of winners from October 2015 or at the very least data for the last 5 years (winners only) by method of purchase i.e. online or physical tickets purchased in store.

Could I also understand if the winning tickets were purchased as single tickets or in multiple format i.e. 5 lines on 1 ticket.
