    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈35M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 5 of 18 — 11,324 winners, 1665% more than the 642 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.
