    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Bonus — 45,141 winners, 11% fewer than the 51k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
