Python Lottery Program Help

I am very new to Python. I am trying to create a lottery game where both the winning numbers and my numbers are random. When checking my numbers against winning numbers it says there are x amount matching but it isn't accurate. I think I have to add a function to define the lotterynumbers but I am not sure how to do that.
