>> yes i do i have that in the part for the 100 i think?
You do, but that's not the problem I'm talking about here. Focusing on the $1000 part, the code I quoted is not correct. The ||s and &&s don't match the ORs and ANDs from the written English version of the logic you posted in post #13. See if you can see where and make it match.

OKAY FOR THE 1000

Code:

 
if (firstGuess == firstResult || firstGuess == secondResult || firstGuess == thirdResult 
	&& secondGuess == firstResult || secondGuess == secondResult || secondGuess == thirdResult
	&& thirdGuess == firstResult || thirdGuess == secondResult || thirdGuess == thirdResult)
	cout << "You win $1,000 " << endl;

Nice. Does it work? The only thing you might need to add are parentheses around each group of || checks to separate them from the &&s.

After that, try the written english for the $100 win.
