Write a Lottery class that simulates a lottery. The class should have an array of five integers named lotteryNumbers. The constructor should generate a random number in the range of 0 through 9 for each element in the array. Refer to Chapter 4's discussion of the Random class for generating random numbers. The class should also have a method that accepts an array of five integers that represents a person's lottery picks. The method is to compare the corresponding elements in the two arrays and return the number of digits that match. Note that unline the Florida Lotto, the digits must match by position!

So post your code and actually ask a question. This isn't a homework completion service and no one is going to write detailed instructions on how to complete this.

Hey. Were you able to finish this code??
