The process continues until the prize fund has been fully allocated to valid bonds. I imagine that the random number generator (RNG) knows nothing about bond numbers. It is down to another part of ernie to match an RNG number to a bond using a look-up table. I'd guess that that is where the process could become non-random. However random the RNG, if the look-up table doesn't include a particular bond, that bond will NEVER win. That the look-up table isn't perfect is demonstrated by NS&I regularly having to redirect prizes from bond look-ups that looked right at the time but were susequently found not to be valid for that draw.

Let's hope that we pick up those prizes on the re-distribution, tm
