Dear Sir/Madam

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

In your email you have requested:

1. all locations with NG1 postcodes where high value (over £50,000) National Lottery prizes were claimed between November 1994 and December 2020.
2. the date and time each winning ticket was validated.
3. the value of each high tier winning ticket and the postcode of the retailer where each ticket was validated.
4. the locations where the winning individuals resided, even if the winner was not in NG1 postcode area. if the winner chose to remain anonymous, please state anonymous.

Having completed a check of our records, I can confirm that the Commission does not hold information on the specific locations of where National Lottery prizes have been claimed, validated or where the winners reside. Therefore, we are unable to provide and information falling within the scope of this request.

The Commission is responsible for licensing and regulating the National Lottery, ensuring the interests of participants are protected and maximising returns for Good Causes. Whilst this information may be collected by Camelot as the operator of the National Lottery, it is not information we are required to collect in support of our regulatory functions.

As the operator, Camelot is responsible for, among other things, the payment of prizes to winners. As such, information regarding the location winners is held by Camelot and not the Commission. However it should be notes that as a commercial entity, Camelot is not subject to the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Camelot do publish a broad geographical breakdown of winners on their website which you may find of interest. This is available here:
