This is good if you need about as many elements in the result as are in 
the range. But if the range is large and you need only a few elements, 
it may be better to generate numbers (without duplicates), like this:

new Random().ints(1, 50).distinct().limit(6)

[Side note, not relevant to the lotto example: IntStream#distinct() uses 
a LinkedHashSet internally, so that the order is maintained, as required 
by the java docs for Stream#distinct().]
