Checks your lotto numbers against all lotto numbers for powerball.

readme.txt

This utility requires Python3 and the requests module (pip install requests)

Put lotto.py, numbers.txt, and config.ini in a folder together.
edit numbers.txt with your lotto numbers in the format provided.
format: (where PB is your powerball number)
mm/dd/yyyy 00 00 00 00 00 PB

if your date is '00/00/0000', then it will check all powerball numbers, otherwise it only checks the date for that number.
