  • Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈7.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 5 — 1,945 winners, 11% fewer than the 2.2k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
