Nathan, While testing I noticed the same number coming up more that once in a set of 6 so what I've done: <code> import random while True: q = raw_input("Do you want a lottery number drawing? 1 for yes, 2 for no ") if q == '1': numbers = [] for i in range(6): while True: draw = random.choice(range(1,50)) if not(numbers.count(draw)): numbers.append(draw) break print numbers elif q == '2': break else: print "Read the instructions please." </code>
