Testing the puzzle pieces before assembling the final script.

Verified that the counter list mechanism works. Did that by printing out the first 1,000.

Verified that the draw history file reading does what is expected by using a column of test data with a known number of hits. Also verified it appends the correct hit count at the end. This was crucial as it is the back test part. Without this there could be no forward progress!

Currently working with a test script to create a heap data structure that returns the top 10 lists by hit count. This part has to go smooth as it will refine 10,000,000,000 tests to 10 lists. It is how such a large project can stay within memory range to run on a Raspberry Pi 5.

After that, it will be a simple matter of putting the pieces together.
