  • 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 4 — 621 winners, 19% fewer than the 764 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
