The easiest way AFAIK is to random shuffle an integer array containing the 
numbers 1 - 49 and then selecting the first six numbers from that array.

Random shuffling can be achieved by filling a second array of the same size 
with random numbers obtained from a generator having a uniform distribution 
and then sorting this second array; moving the numbers from the first array in 
lock-step.
