NS&I assure us that there is no possibility of bonds being lost in the system. I wonder whether there is an auditing system in place to confirm this?
After the Post Office / Fujitsu scandal, I wonder for how much longer people will be happy to accept the word of NS&I that all is well with their bond holdings?

Conveniently, the article does not mention how many premium bonds the subject of the article had held for 55 years. If it's something like a £5, then it's not really surprising.
I have £300 PBs (smaller part of larger now max holding) purchased in July 1968 (let's call it 55 years ago) that have had 4 prizes between 2001 (when my record keeping began) and the present , total £250.
But curiously nothing since 2007 on the July 1968 batch...
So I would refute the complaintant's case, but maybe I should start asking why I've not had anything on my July 1968 PBs since 2007.....
