    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈10M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 5 — 2,004 winners, 13% fewer than the 2.3k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
