Lotto Data

ronkmonster

Anyone know if there is somewhere i can download lotto results.
Preferably in a database, excel or csv file.

Thinking of writing a lotto number manager for results and tickets bought.
I want to have the previous results in also but I really don't want to have to enter manually.

scrape aertel for the info

i can get from aertel and website manually but i'd prefer to be able to import the whole list in one go

Google screen scraping in your desired language. You should be able to write a small function/class to pull the info automagically off the aertel website every week.

sorry for not explaining better.

i want to import all the results, going back to when lotto started. I've no issue putting in each weeks results manually. just the couple of hundred draws before that

So what you're really asking is for a source for all historical results. I imagine the only place to get that would be the national lottery themselves.

I tell a lie:
http://www.irishlotto.net/main-results/1988.htm

Talon.ie

http://lotto.ie/Prizes-and-Results/

Though the page irlrobins posted looks easier to scrape

first one should do the job. i can copy/paste into a csv file
then when i'm importing into my db i'll just discard what i don't need ie. last part

thanks everyone. if it helps me win, i'll give ya a fiver
