Saturday 1st August
In recent weeks, the official Irish lottery site has been dog slow
around the Euro Millions draw time. In fact, out of the five Euro Millions
sites I scrape, it's the only one that couldn't load in the 30 seconds
timeout I gave to curl! I've reluctantly doubled the timeout to 1 minute for
the moment, but the reason I'm mentioning this is that the Irish site was
the only one I was scanning for the jackpot prize amount in Euros.
Unfortunately, if I don't get that Euros figure, I can't display any
of the full information for that evening's Euro Millions draw.
As a precaution, I now also look at the Spanish official site's data
and extract the figure from there if I haven't got it from the Irish site.
