[Tutor] Can anyone help me?

[Mark Brown]

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>
