Subject: [PATCH] Fix: Correct lotto.ipynb execution and add manual download
 instructions

The `lotto.ipynb` notebook was failing to execute due to a broken data download URL. This commit fixes the notebook by:

- Wrapping the download logic in a `try...except` block to gracefully handle the `HTTP 403 Forbidden` error.
- Adding a new markdown cell with clear instructions for manually downloading the required data from an alternative source.
- Removing the temporary Python scripts used to modify the notebook.
