Every number was expected about that many times after 3 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.

  • Winners, log scale
  • Prize each, log scale
  • Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈24M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 137,334 winners, 86% more than the 74k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
