1. Create a scraper with the direct URL to the PA lottery results by year. This will be needed to make life easier and updates automated for the mobile version as well. When this is done, I will rebuild ALL history files from draw 1 to avoid any data entry errors over the years. And this time I will keep the double draws on pick N!

2. Include ALL of the PA games. Pick 2 through the big jackpot games.

3. Create a snapshot tool that captures the output to be reviewed when the cycle ends... where did the draws come from vs. Where I thought they might have come from.

4. Keep the stand alone scripts for every version to test that the app generates the same exact data.

5. Plan to generate documentation... as the project grows in complexity, future me will need reminding!

That should keep me busy for awhile...

Back to a new pick 3 cycle Thursday, using the highest all neutral line in the sorted output instead of the line in the dead center of the neutral lines.

The coin flip used to pick 666 for this week is not going so well.

I am excited by the possibility of clicking update all instead of the painstaking manual process!... [ More ]
