  • Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈348k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 3,945 winners, 16% more than the 3.4k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
