    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈14k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 616 winners, 52% fewer than the 1.3k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less 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.
