Visual Basic- ListBoxes

I have 2 ListBoxes. ListBox1 is populated with 5 selected numbers from a CheckedListBox(LotteryBox) and ListBox2 is populated with random numbers 1-99. I want to find a way to verify if the numbers in the two ListBoxes match. For Example, if they matched one number. It'll say "You've matched one number". and so on. I think I'm on the right path with:

Dim Matched As Integer = 0
    If ListBox2.Contains((LotteryBox.SelectedItem)) Then Matched += 1
    If ListBox2.Contains((LotteryBox.SelectedItem)) Then Matched += 1
    If ListBox2.Contains((LotteryBox.SelectedItem)) Then Matched += 1
    If ListBox2.Contains((LotteryBox.SelectedItem)) Then Matched += 1
    If ListBox2.Contains((LotteryBox.SelectedItem)) Then Matched += 1

But how do I differentiate between the five numbers selected in the LotteryBox?

Try looping trough the listbox1 that is populated from lotterybox. Somrthing like this (I didn't set up the objects to test this.)

For listItem = 0 To Listbox1.ListCount - 1
  if ListBox2.Contains(listbox1.List(listItem)) Then Matched = Matched + 1
Next listitem
