I am creating a 'Euromillions Lottery generator' just for fun and I keep getting the same numbers printing out. How can I make it so that I get random numbers and never get the same number popping up:

from random import randint

numbers = randint(1,50)

stars = randint(1,11)


print "Your lucky numbers are: ", numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers

print "Your lucky stars are: " , stars, stars

The output is just:

>>> Your lucky numbers are:  41 41 41 41 41
>>> Your lucky stars are:  8 8
>>> Good bye!

How can I fix this?
