    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈884k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 989 winners, 23% fewer than the 1.3k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
