As you rest in your deep thoughts thinking that you have chance to win this jackpot. As an IT professional living and working in the District of Columbia area living with five other fellow roommates, who are in the same situation. As the only IT expert in this house, you decided to try your luck and to generate some pseudo-numbers to see this jackpot can be claimed by you and your fellow roommates. Requirements:

• Inside this lotto() function o Write one loop to create the five normal Numbers + Powerball o Write a second loop to create a total of 10 Lottery tickets

Here is the python code with screenshot and comments for each important line

# import all modules
import random
from datetime import  datetime

def lotto():
# seed the random number with the current time
    random.seed(datetime.now())
    # this will store the lottery numbers for the 10 tickets
    ticket_lottery_number=[]
    for ticket in range(10):
        # this will be a list of five normal number and powerball number
        lottery_number=[]
        for _ in range(5):
            # add the five normal numbers in the list
            lottery_number.append(random.randint(1,70))
        # add the powerball number at the end
        lottery_number.append(random.randint(1,25))

        # add the whole list to the ticket list
        ticket_lottery_number.append(lottery_number)

    # print each ticket
    for ticket in ticket_lottery_number:
        print(ticket)

    # return the list to main() function
    return ticket_lottery_number


def main():
    lotto()

main()
