Where the money went
The rings take the ≈1.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Bonus — 15,663 winners, 351% more than the 3.5k 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.
