  • Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈1.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 1,036 winners, 13% fewer than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
