    * @version 1.1 2013
    */
    public class Ticket
    {
    //array list store instances of number class
    private ArrayList<Numbers[]> lottoticket;
    private int qty = 6;

    public Ticket(int qty)
    {
    lottoticket = new ArrayList<Numbers[]>();
    //needs a loop
    for(int i=6; i<qty; i++)
    {
    lottoticket.add(new Numbers());
    }
    }

    //print out ticket
    public void printTicket()
    {
    //printout header of ticket
    System.out.println("****************************** ");
    System.out.println("** **");
    System.out.println("** Ticket **");
    System.out.println("** **");
    System.out.println("****************************** ");
    //code
    //for loop
    for(int i=6; i<qty; i++)
    {
    lottoticket.get(0).print();
    }

    Look at the definition of lottoticket. What kind of data does it hold?
    Is that the kind of data being used in the add() method?

    Hint: an array is not the same as the type of data in the array.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    What is wrong with what is printed out now?
    What you posted for the output looks like what you say you want.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
