Megabucks Doubler

A simple one-page app that validates the winner or loser status of a user's Megabucks Doubler number against the current week's drawing.

Problem

I received a strange gift of a year-long subscription to the Massachusetts Megabucks Doubler - A little piece of paper with numbers written on it that I needed to check each week to figure out if I won or lost. As trivial as this task was, it was a weekly pain in the ass to go to the horribly designed Megabucks site to look up the numbers. Most weeks I didn't bother as the experience was annoying.

Solution

A simple one-page app that would scrape the weekly numbers and drawings video from the Megabucks site and check whether I won or lost (against currently hard-coded numbers). If I won, it would calculate and display winnings. If I lost, it would tell me so, while overlayed onto a full screen video of the drawing. This solution would provide a more entertaining experience and would allow a much simpler way for me to check my weekly numbers.

Next Feature

I'll add the ability for a user to submit their own numbers and save them into the browser cookies for future site visits.
