Powerball story as provided:
As a Greenphire employee I would like to add my favorite 6 numbers to consider for a Powerball entry ticket so that I can win 1 billion dollars.
- Capture the name of the employees entering the number.
- The first 5 favorite numbers will need to be in the range of 1 to 69 and unique. (remember that this is a drawing so there cannot be duplicates in this range of 5 numbers)
- 6th favorite number will need to be in the range of 1 to 26 and flagged as the 6th Powerball number.
- Keep count of each individual favorite number provided to determine which numbers to use in our final winning number. (i.e. count the duplicates).
- Retrieve the max count of each unique duplicate number and use them as the Powerball numbers.
- if there is a tie based on the max counts randomly select the tied number.
- Display all employees with their corresponding number entries.
- Display the final Powerball number based on the requirements above.
