Where the money went
The rings take the ≈2.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Bonus — 22,532 winners, 385% more than the 4.6k 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.
