How can the use of arrays improve the efficiency and accuracy of a Lotto system in PHP?

Using arrays in a Lotto system can improve efficiency and accuracy by allowing us to store all possible numbers in the array and then randomly selecting numbers from this array without repetition. This ensures that each number is unique and that the chances of winning are not skewed. Additionally, arrays make it easier to check for winning numbers and compare them with the user's input. 

<?php

// Generate an array of all possible Lotto numbers
$lottoNumbers = range(1, 49);

// Shuffle the array to randomize the numbers
shuffle($lottoNumbers);

// Select the first 6 numbers as the winning numbers
$winningNumbers = array_slice($lottoNumbers, 0, 6);

// Sort the winning numbers in ascending order
sort($winningNumbers);

// Display the winning numbers
echo "Winning numbers: " . implode(", ", $winningNumbers);

?>
