  • Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈3.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 20,949 winners, 22% more than the 17k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
