    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈400k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 3 — 4,386 winners, 11% fewer than the 4.9k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
