Scrapes the Louisiana lottery website for scratch-off ticket
|
||||||
|
data and calculates the expected value for each game.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Louisiana publishes the number of tickets printed and how many
|
||||||
|
tickets are printed at each prize level.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We can calculated the expected value of a game by summing
|
||||||
|
the value of all the prizes and dividing that by the cost
|
||||||
|
of all the tickets.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The louisianalottery website has an "top prizes remaining" or an "index" page that
|
||||||
|
has links to every game that could still be profitable.
|
||||||
|
Each individual game has a section for the "game rules" page and a prize table.
|
||||||
|
We can use each individual game page to gather the important data, and
|
||||||
|
then run our calculations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Website that we'll be scraping:
|
||||||
|
https://louisianalottery.com/scratch-offs/top-prizes-remaining
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example usage:
|
||||||
|
python -m louisiana
|
||||||
|
Or:
|
||||||
|
LOGLEVEL=DEBUG USE_CACHE=True python -m louisiana
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following behavior is configurable through shell environment variables.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Set LOGLEVEL to print useful debug info to console.
|
||||||
|
LOGLEVEL=[DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL]
|
||||||
|
Defaults to WARNING.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Set USE_CACHE to cache responses. This speeds up development
|
||||||
|
and is nice to the servers we're hitting.
|
||||||
|
USE_CACHE=[True]
|
||||||
|
Defaults to False. Note: Setting this env variable to the string False
|
||||||
|
will cause it to use cache because the string "False" evaluates to Truthy.
|
||||||
|
Either set it to True or don't set it.
