    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈811k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 556 winners, 10% fewer than the 618 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
