    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈77k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 729 winners, 13% more than the 648 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
