A separate\n`double_play_winning_numbers` field uses the identical packed-string\nconvention for ING's optional add-on draw. `multiplier` is its own\nsingle-value field (also a numeric-looking string, `\"2\"`).\n\n## Error shape (reconfirms the SoQL error contract on a new dataset)\n`$where=nonexistent_col=5` → `HTTP 400`,\n`{\"message\":\"Query coordinator error: query.soql.no-such-column; No such\ncolumn: nonexistent_col; ...\",\"errorCode\":\"query.soql.no-such-column\", ...}`\n— identical structured-error convention to other `data.ny.gov` datasets\nalready in the corpus, confirmed live on this specific lottery dataset.\nThe error's `data.position.line` field helpfully echoes the full\nrewritten SQL-like query NY's backend generated from the SoQL\n(\"SELECT draw_date, ...
