Love that. I wonder how much money is flowing from consumers on forgotten subscriptions. My bank should have a separate highlighted section for any recurring charge.

What is with the fractional numbers in `game.num_tx_initial` for some of the rows? I am assuming this is number of tickets sold. Parsing error? Edit: The site is pretty cool. I get strong vibes of the Winfall lottery story[0] [0] https:&#x

While I respect Celery, it is complicated (some amount is intrinsic to the problem space). I used to use it, but it felt heavyweight and debugging errors was so quite challenging. Have since switched to Dramatiq - which may not be web scale
