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

The rings take the ≈9.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 13,670 winners, 15% fewer than the 16k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
