Tell us what’s happening:
Hey guys, could you please tell me why this is not the right way to do it, the code seems logical.

Your code so far

function palindrome (str) {
   if (str === palindrome)      { 
  
  return true;
   
   } else {
     
  
  return false;
   }  

}

palindrome("eye");

JavaScript doesn’t understand what a palindrome is, you can’t just ask it if something is a palindrome.

function lotteryNumbers() {
  return lotteryNumbers;
}
