    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈32k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 1,008 winners, 19% more than the 851 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
