Hey, nice example. But however in the lottery you can't pull the same ball more than once. When i ran your code 7 times, 4 times it returned atleast one repeated number if not more. You need to consider writing it so that the ball numbers don't repeat. Like for example store the numbers already picked into an array and compare those numbers in the next cycle in the loop.
