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

The rings take the ≈28M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 35,814 winners, 27% fewer than the 49k 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.
