Ok, so before my fingers lock up on me let me make this final update for the week:
Last night we played mental gymnastics until about 6am but we FINALLY got it working PERFECTLY.
Working perfectly and 25 states have been added to the app so far.
Next, we gotta load the bot into the app and make sure everything is working perfectly together again.
Finally, I'll be testing it over the next few days to 1. Find the patterns 2. Get some hits from the other states.
I'm so excited! My mom hasn't had a hit in months! I can't wait to surprise her with winning tickets.
That reminds me of something hilarious 
...U got time for a quick story?
Ok, so look, when the pattern finder was buggy I totally wasted $36 on tickets because it gave me a false positive. I played the set of 9 numbers twice, and sent my mom a set in an envelope. I told my kid, "Don't hand your grandma these tickets until AFTER the lottery" and do it with a big smile 
Needless to say I was super salty 
and it took everything in me to retain my patience with getting this app together. I prayed hard just to stay uplifted in my spirit because I really do want this app to continue to be made with love & laughter.
And my mom had a VERY good laugh at that one! I can imagine the look on her face!
Anyway even though my patience has been tried - I never once stopped singing and dancing around my house, giving thanks to God for great ideas, lottery wins, and an overflowing abundance of health wealth and happiness!

*No worries, the algorithm works great, it was just a matter of telling this mechanical thing to do what my brain is used to doing.
*My kid did the animation of my character by the way - I'm so happy about that, lol.
Let's win some money, guys!
