x = random.randint(1, 100)
y = input("Enter a random integer from 1 to 99: ")

try:
y == int(y)
except ValueError:
print("Input must be an integer")

one = int(input("Enter: "))

two = int(input("Enter: "))

three = int(input("Enter: "))

four = int(input("Enter: "))

lottery = [one, two, three, four]

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]

calc = random.sample(x, 4)

print(*calc)

if lottery == calc:

    print(f"YES!!! You got the lucky lottery numbers: {calc}")

else:

    print(f"Sorry your input {lottery} does not match the lucky numbers, try again")
