Welcome to EuroJackpotPyLab
EuroJackpotPyLab is the online lab that grows next to the book Code the Jackpot. Same numbers, same models, same slightly nerdy obsession with “can we play the lottery in a more structured way without losing our mind?”.
The idea is simple:
- Grab all historical EuroJackpot draws.
- Build features on every 5-number combination (sums, odd/even, grid lines, arithmetic complexity, HCFS labels, triads, spacing, E-hits, delays and more).
- Keep only the combinations that sit in “healthier” feature bands, forming a reduced pool.
- From that pool, feed ticket packs and track how they behave over time.
Right now this local version already loads a reduced set from disk and shows you its size. Over time the same engine will:
- Feed random packs of combinations from the reduced pool.
- Keep a logbook of hits for each draw.
- Publish short lab notes when a new idea or tweak looks promising.
Current numbers:
- Total combinations in the current reduced pool file: 95865
- Available combinations (not yet marked as played): 85825
The model brings structure, not certainty. EuroJackpot is still a lottery and the real drama happens every Tuesday and Friday.
