Lotto Program – Version 1

Assume you’d like to simulate the LOTTO game. People pick 5 numbers between 1 (inclusive) and 47 (inclusive). After people have picked their lotto numbers, the winning lotto numbers are drawn randomly.

Write a program that allows the user to pick 5 numbers within the lotto range. Use a data validation loop to ensure that they pick 5 numbers that are within range.

After the user has picked their 5 numbers, the computer should randomly generate 5 numbers that are also within the lotto range.

Finally, the program should display both sets of numbers on the screen so the user can compare to see how many matches they have.

Use top down design to separate program into logical tasks.

Lotto Program – Version 2

As it stands, there’s nothing stopping the user from choosing any number more than once. The user could even enter 45 as all 5 of their numbers. (It certainly wouldn’t help their chances of winning the lotto, but your program allows it.) Adjust your program so that the user can’t pick the same number twice (or more).

Also, adjust your code so that the computer won’t randomly select the same number twice (or more). 

Hint: You’re adding information to you DATA VALIDATION. Not only must the number be between 1 and 47, but also it must also not be already chosen
