I\u2019m working on a data project and need a more complete dataset for Powerball and Mega Millions than what\u2019s usually available on sites like lotteryusa or state lottery pages.<\/p>\n
Most public datasets just have the draw date and winning numbers, but I need all the columns, specifically things like: – Draw date & draw number – Winning numbers + Powerball\/Mega Ball – Power Play \/ Megaplier multiplier – Jackpot amount (annuity & cash value) – Number of winners by tier (match 5, 4+PB, etc.) – Power Play winners by tier – State-by-state winner breakdown (if available)<\/p>\n
Basically, the full official results table that the lotteries publish after each draw, not just the numbers themselves.<\/p>\n
I haven\u2019t been able to find a historical dataset with all of this. <\/p>\n
Does anyone know if this exists publicly, or will I need to scrape it directly from Powerball.com \/ MegaMillions.com (or individual state sites)? If scraping is the way to go, I\u2019d love any tips on best practices for this since the data spans back to the \u201990s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
