Help passing arrays to other methods

[arfor]

Basically, what my program is supposed to do is generate 5 random lottery numbers, get input from the user for guesses for the numbers, then see if any of the guesses from the user are right.
I'm having errors when referencing the arrays, the values aren't being passed to the methods right.
Here's my code:

import java.util.*;
public class lottery {
	public static void lotteryNums(){

		Random randnum=new Random();
		int[] lotteryNumbers=new int[5];
		
		for (int i=0; i<lotteryNumbers.length; i++)
			{
//have to make the max value 51 to include 50 when using nextint
			lotteryNumbers[i]=(randnum.nextInt(51)+0);
			}
//sort lotterynumbers ascending
		Arrays.sort(lotteryNumbers);
	
//check lotterynumbers
		System.out.println("Winning numbers: " + Arrays.toString(lotteryNumbers));
	}

	public static void lottocheck(int[] Guess)
	{
	
	
		for (int count1=0; count1<5; count1++)	
		{
			for (int count2=0; count2<5; count2++)
			{
//getting an error here for lotteryNumbers, won't recognize array
				if (Guess[count1]==lotteryNumbers[count2])
					{
						int matches=matches+1;
						System.out.println("You have "+ matches + " matches!");
					}
			}
		}
	}
}




import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class lab1 {
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		getGuess();
		lottery lotto=new lottery();
		lotto.lotteryNums();

//Getting an error here for guesses[], won't recognize array
		lotto.lottocheck(guesses[]);
	
	
	}
	public static void getGuess(){
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		int[] guesses= new int[5];
		System.out.println("Enter your 5 lottery guesses below:");
		for (int i=0; i<5;i++){
			guesses[i] = input.nextInt();
		}
	//sort guesses
	Arrays.sort(guesses);
	//check guesses
	System.out.println("Guesses sorted: " + java.util.Arrays.toString(guesses));

	}
}

Can anyone help me out? How do I get this working?

In line 6, 'lotteryNumbers' is declared inside the lotteryNums() method. this makes the scope of 'lotteryNumbers' that method only. That is, lottocheck() doesn't know 'lotteryNumbers' exists. You probably want to make 'lotteryNumbers' a class variable.
