    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈7.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Bonus — 73,014 winners, 18% fewer than the 89k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
