It seems that the PB machine has no problem with finding PB holders in Essex, Norwich, or anywhere south of where I live. For me, and like so many others who have seen the above winner pattern over and over again which questions the 'randomness' of the draw

It really doesn't - there's no reason to expect that randomness equates to even distribution, except over the very long term, so, even though you're far from the first unlucky holder to conclude that the draw isn't random, that just comes down to not really understanding what randomness means, or how the process of drawing winning bond numbers has nothing to do with geography....

Having said that, nothing from a £2K holding over 34 years is pretty unlucky!

Yes, that's right - the draw we're all talking about is March 2024 - the draws take place at the start of the month.

Does it! Never knew that!  So for 2024 so far we have had 3 draws?

Yes 3 draws, 2 have been notified and paid, 3rd you have to go and check at this stage for yourself.

Yes, that's correct @david29dpo - 3 draws so far in 2024.  I was trying to find where it might give details on the NS&I site, but haven't found a specific reference to the date of the draw.  Found it - was a smidge hidden:  https://www.nsandi.com/help/manage-your-savings/premium-bonds-prizes

You can check if you've won here - it usually appears about 11:30pm on the day of the draw:  https://www.nsandi.com/prize-checker

Someone was asking if you could download earlier draw data (sorry, can't just find the post) and I did find a place where you could download just the numbers from previous draws.
