Python Tkinter; Creating multiple labels without declaring each one individually. Is there a way to put this in a for loop?

Question

To be more specific, I need to create 45 different labels that I can control the bg color of individually based on the user input. The project is a lottery, and each correct number the user gets needs to change it's bg color.

lbl_lotoNumberTip1 = Label(lotto, text="1", bg='green')
lbl_lotoNumberTip2 = Label(lotto, text="2", bg='green')
lbl_lotoNumberTip3 = Label(lotto, text="3", bg='green')
lbl_lotoNumberTip4 = Label(lotto, text="4", bg='green')
lbl_lotoNumberTip5 = Label(lotto, text="5", bg='green')

Is there a much shorter way to write this like putting it in a for loop ?

Answer 1

Some few corrections to my code

labels = {} # Create a dictionary 
for i in range(45):
  labels[f'lbl_lotoNumberTip{i+1}'] = Label(lotto, text=f"i+1", bg='green')

The code above will create the labels to access the labels use.

labels[lbl_lotoNumberTip1] # where 1 there can be replaced with any number in the range
labels[lbl_lotoNumberTip2].text() # Example on how to access labels
