  • Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈16M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 21,169 winners, 23% fewer than the 27k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
