I know of a few other people on here like me that have had three blanks in a row on £50K but has anyone ever had more than that? If I get another blank next month I'll have to assume something has gone wrong with my bonds.1

I have a relative who is also clocking up more than their fair share of blank months so far this year so you're both definitely having below-average luck because, if you click on 'see more details' on this site, you'll see that someone on a full holding with average luck would expect to win nothing once every 11 months. This certainly seems to hold true for me, as I tend to win nothing roughly once a year.Swipe said:I know of a few other people on here like me that have had three blanks in a row on £50K but has anyone ever had more than that?
