I have two £10 bonds bought in the 1960s. I've won two £50 prizes in all this time.
Last win was in the 90s IIRC. Have I been lucky, I think so.

Indeed you have. 

I have 18 x  £1 PBs bought shortly after their launch. I’m still patiently waiting for my 1st win. Have I been unlucky 🤷🏼‍♀️

In comparison, I  would agree. One day, luckily.

Have you ever heard of someone saying they won the big one, £1m? no nor me, I dont think it happens

Yes!

There was a thread on here a few years back where someone had won the £1m (someone came to the house to inform them).  Obviously you have to be dubious of what you read on an internet forum, but from their reaction (they were quite overwhelmed IIRC) and the fact they stuck around to answer questions about the win I believed it was genuine.
