How many months does one have to earn nothing on a full holding to equal the odds of earning a million?

The MSE calculator has the odds of winning nothing from a full holding over six months (1 in 268,408) as less likely than winning a million from that holding over that period (1 in 146,851) - they don't publish the equivalent for five months but the 'nothing' return would be more likely than the million over that timeframe, so the answer is effectively six....

Hi All,

Started investing in stocks a few years back. too much up and down for me with Covid etc. sold most, kept some long term holdings. Moved a lot to PB. 

Currently holding investing since March £39.2K.

Winnings so far £1775. 

Won £1150 this month and £550 in July. 

Few 25s in between.

As an aside I have an old single paper premium bond that I've held since birth, which I can't seem to check as obviously it is not linked to my holder number so can't use the online checker.

I had an old paper £1 bond and sent it NS&I to add to my holding. It's an exhausting process, you need to complete and form and get a professional person to witness my signature. I went through the process and they lost the first form and I had to do another. A lot of work for a £1 bond. 

I have £21 old paper bonds, in various small denominations. They were there when, or shortly after, I first registered for online access. I certainly didn't need a professional to witness anything, though I may have filled in a form long ago when holder's numbers were first introduced.

I did mine about 3 months ago. It dates from 1957 so that's maybe why I had to verify my identity.
