  • Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈440k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 900 winners, 11% fewer than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
