  • Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈12M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Powerball — 1,008 winners, 18% more than the 855 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
