Lottery Analysis Project

Overview

This project is designed to manage and analyze lottery participants and their chances of winning. It consists of several scripts that handle different aspects of the lottery process.

Usage

1. Import Participants

When a new lottery run starts, participants are imported by running pdf_parser.py. This script parses a PDF file containing participant data and saves it to a CSV file.

python pdf_parser.py path/to/lottery_participants.pdf

2. Update Lottery Standings

Every week, drawing.py is run to update the dataset with the numbers drawn that week. This script will output the current lottery standings.

python drawing.py

3. Analyze Future Winners

To see how much chance of a prize a certain group of people have, run future_winners.py with the name of the group you're looking for as an argument.

python future_winners.py -en GroupName

Setup

Requirements

The project dependencies are listed in requirements.txt. To set up the project, install the required packages using pip:
