What are the odds of winning premium bonds compared to the lottery?

Does anyone know the odds of winning the premium bonds (say over £100,000) if you have £30,000 in bonds? And how this compares to winning the same amount in the lottery if you play 2 lines for the wednesday and saturday draw every week. If this is too specific, then how do the odds compare for winning the top prize for each?

1. The lottert creams off most of the takings for charity. Premium bonds return at least something to the punters.
2. Unless you buy 30,000 lottery tickets, you'll have more chance of winning with the premium bonds. More people play the lottery therefore the prizes are so cut down that you'll probably only win about £20 if you're lucky! I recently won £150 on premium bonds with just one lucky ticket. You have so many premium bonds that the odds of you winning are much higher.
