Euromillions Simulator

Python script that simulates millions of EuroMillions draws and keeps track of the frequency of combinations.

Why?

After studying the chapters on lists, tuples and dictionaries from the book "Python for Everybody" by Charles Severance a couple of years ago, I wanted to create an exercise of my own.

Caution!

This script is very processor and memory intensive. It can quickly go up to 100% use of your CPU and use so much RAM that it needs to start swapping.

Disclaimer

No matter how many simulations you run, it will not increase your chances of winning EuroMillions. That is simply not how it works.

To Do

  • improve print output status
  • variables for output status of drawings
  • time needed for simulations (duration)
  • better layout for the results
