Question

x.Hmo write a program to simulate the mega bucks. To my knowledge everything works except for checking for duplicates and changing the duplicate to a different random number between 1 and 42 within the user's ticket and the computers tickets. I made a class and a driver for this project.
HERE IS THE CLASS -

/**
* This class represents a MegaBucks object.

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class MegaBucks
{
    private ArrayList<Integer>user;     // The ArrayList for the user's ticket
    private ArrayList<Integer>winner;   // The ArrayList for the winning ticket

   
    public MegaBucks()
    {
        user = new ArrayList<Integer>();
        winner = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    }
   
    // ------------------------------------------------------
    // The winning numbers that are randomly given to the
    // computer without duplicates.
    // ------------------------------------------------------  
    public void winNums()      
    {
        for(int count = 0; count < 7; count++)
        {
            winner.add((int)(Math.random()*43));
           
        }
         System.out.println("The computer's numbers are:" + winner);
         this.checkDuplicWin();
    }
   

   
   
    // ---------------------------------------
    // Shows the numbers the user picked.
    // ---------------------------------------
   
    public void userPick()     
    {
        for(int count = 0; count < 6; count++)
        {
            Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.println("Please enter a number between 1 and 42.");
            user.add(scan.nextInt());
           
        }
        System.out.println("Your numbers are:" + user);
        this.checkDuplicUser();
    }
   
    //-----------------------------------------------
    // This method removes the old set of numbers.
    //-----------------------------------------------
   
     public void removeNum()
     {
        winner.clear();
     }
  
   
    //------------------------------------------------------
    // Checks for duplicates in the winer/computer's ticket.
    //------------------------------------------------------
    public void checkDuplicWin()
    {
        for(int count = 0; count < 6; count++)
            for(int ct = count+1; ct < 7; ct++)
            {
                while(winner.get(count) == winner.get(ct))
                {
                        winner.set(count, (int)(Math.random()*43));
                    }
                }
            }
       
       
       
    //------------------------------------------------------
    // Checks for duplicates in the user's group of numbers.
    //------------------------------------------------------
    public void checkDuplicUser()
    {
        for(int count = 0; count < 5; count++)
            for(int ct = count+1; ct < 6; ct++)
            {
                while(user.get(count) == user.get(ct))
                {
                        user.set(count, (int)(Math.random()*43));
                    }
                }
        }
          
          
   
    //-------------------------------------------------
    // Compares the user's pick to the winner's pick
    // and returns true if the numbers match but
    // returns false if the numbers do not equal.
    //-------------------------------------------------
   
    public boolean comparePicks()      
    {
        int win = 0;
       for(int count = 0; count < 6; count++)
       {
            for(int ct = 0; ct < 7; ct++)
            {
                if(user.get(count) == winner.get(ct))
