    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈671k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 643 winners, 26% more than the 512 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.
