    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈7.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Bonus — 67,923 winners, 23% fewer than the 88k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
