  • Prize each, log scale
  • Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈13M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 16,328 winners, 26% fewer than the 22k 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.
