Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈3.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Bonus — 22,892 winners, 318% more than the 5.5k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more 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.
