Why I suspect #TheNationalLottery is now scamming the public

I realise I don't have a lot to go on but I have the kind of gnawing suspicion that will not let me go.
Before the last price increase, changes to the payout system and the raffle replaced the weekly draw I used to get a payout of some kind every couple of months. I had neen trousering the odd tenner or fifty bob with monotonous regularity more or less since it started.
But this week has been the first win I have had for 10 months or more. Now I know that it is in the nature of these things for the statistics of chance to even themselves up over a period of time and that my win was for £25 instead of £10. But I can't help feeling that, since the odds of 3 of my 6 numbers coming up have not altered in the slightest, I should have had at least a couple of other wins since last October.
Like I say, there have not really been a suffient number of draws from which to draw any reliable statistics BUT it certainly is in the nature of government agencies to swindle the public wherever possible.
Done, we have been.
