Sorting Lowest to Highest for Powerball

[MrMario]

I don't know how I would do this, I'm suppose to make the first five white balls from the user and what the computer outputs from lowest to highest, so that the program can tell the user that he or she won this amount of money with the matches. How would I go about doing that? Below is what I have.

Thanks in advance!

// Output shown when the player wins

"Winner! Five white balls - $1,000,000",
"Winner! Four white balls & powerball - $10,000!",
"Winner! Four white balls - $100!",
"Winner! Three white balls & powerball - $100!",
"Winner! Three white balls - $7!",
"Winner! Two white balls & powerball - $7!",
"Winner! One white ball & powerball - $4!",
"Winner! Powerball only - $4!"};

Anyone?

[TwilightSpectre]

What problems do you have with your program?

[MrMario]

It doesn't check the results right, it will run till it sees that the powerball is hit and that's it. It should be able to check every input and say in any order, then till you won this much.

[MrMario]

Still need help.

Hello? Anyone out there?
