Importing draw metadata (jackpot, jackpot winners, custom fi

[KQLotalyst]

I'm importing historical Illinois Lottery data into EL5. Besides the winning numbers, my dataset also contains information such as jackpot amount, jackpot winner count, and game-specific attributes (e.g., Lotto Million flags).

I know the Import Wizard handles the winning numbers, but is there any supported way to import or associate additional metadata with each drawing so it can be used for filtering or analysis?

Can this be done through the Import Wizard, a plugin, a custom lottery definition, or is it not currently supported?

May the odds be ...

There isn’t any feature/plugin that supports importing that type of data with the winning numbers. For specific types of ticket data, I usually create ticket files that are related to the data needed, or setup a custom lotto.

Yeah - ideally, I could bulk load the jackpot winners, then use the SELECT button for analyzing that subset of tickets, along with the various combinations of day (Su..Sa) and draw (midday, evening). Creating a custom lottery for each permutation seems ... *sigh* ... excessive.
