How to win the Power Ball with Python

This is, of course, not a guide on how to win the Powerball!

This is just a random generator that provides a line of numbers that corresponds to the PowerBall.

To get the big reward from the PowerBall, you need to guess five white balls right + 1 Powerball right.

That is 1 : 292,201,338 chance. (You can read more about the PowerBall here)

I have created a python script that prints five numbers and 1 Powerball number.

The five numbers need to be between 1 – 69, while the star numbers need to be between 1- 26.

The following code looks like this:

import random

Ballnumber = []
Powernumber = []

for i in range (0,5):
    number = random.randint(1,69)
    while number in Ballnumber:
        number = random.randint(1,69)
        
    Ballnumber.append(number)
    
Ballnumber.sort()

for j in range (0,1):
    lnumber = random.randint(1,26)
    while lnumber in Powernumber:
        lnumber = random.randint(1,26)
        
    Powernummer.append(lnummer)
    
Powernummer1

print("White Balls Today: ")
print(Ballnumber)
print("Power Ball Number Today: ")
print(Powernumber)
