The original Python 2 code:

url = "http://*********/goldencasket";
s = urllib2.urlopen(url).read()

s = s.partition("latestResults_productResults")[2].lstrip(" =")
s = s.partition(";")[0]
data = json.loads(s)
lotto = data["GoldLottoSaturday"]
print lotto["drawDayDateNumber"]
print map(int, lotto["primaryNumbers"])

It turns out that urllib2 and 3 are both built into python so I didn't have to stress over the dependency error. However, I do have an error and I'm not completely certain that I understand how the code provided by Peter works. The following is the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/phil/Python/lotto.py", line 10, in <module>
    data = json.loads(s)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 338, in loads
    return _default_decoder.decode(s)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 365, in decode
    obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 383, in raw_decode
    raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded
