Cos if it is truely random it should eventually generate all the numbers it possibly can.
"Random numbers explained
For a number in a sequence or distribution to be truly random, it must be independent. The independence of numbers means there is no correlation between successive numbers. In addition, these numbers should occur in the distribution with approximately the same frequency."
From https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/random-numbers#:~:text=A random number occurs in,on past or present ones.
So, given time, all the numbers in the distribution should get at least one hit.
The limitation is the number of times the wheel is spun as it were and the number of numbers in the distribution, which is kinda the same thing said in a different way.

Think of monkeys, typewriters and Shakespeare.

According to the website, the odds of winning are 24,000 to one for £1 bonds so 2,400 to one for you winning anything with your stake. Divide 2400 by 12 = 200 so that's the chances for you in a year, So to be sure(?!) of a win you need to have held onto them for 200 years. 1/169 at the mo!
If my maths is up the spout then I apologise in advance!!!
But it just shows you need to own a shedload to be sure of a win!
Still better odds than the Euromillions.

Still plucking up the courage to click on "post reply" on this cos maths is not my strongpoint despite once getting an A level in it!

I could agree somewhat with that tbh, but fink space on the drive is an issue. Think he hires the trailer or mate has @kermit do you want a van?
Oh and he knows he needs a V8 in his life.

Already thought about that, but unless you get a really big one, you can still only get 2 bikes (tried very hard to get 3in ) then there's the impracticality of parking, going shopping, not allowed on camp sites etc never mind wouldn't fit on my drive
