[Python] UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'have_exceptions_n' where it is not...

I am trying to program a game and when I was checking edge cases (in the same function), it gives me a UnboundLocalError:

UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'have_exceptions_n' where it is not associated with a value
​

The code:

def get_input():
while True:
have_exceptions = False
player_nums = input('\nEnter 5 numbers between 1 and 69, seperate with spaces (e.g. 1 2 3 4 5):\n> '); player_nums = player_nums.split()
for i in range(len(player_nums)):
if not player_nums.isnumeric():
have_exceptions_n = True
have_exceptions = True
elif int(player_nums) > 69:
have_exceptions_n = True
have_exceptions = True
player_nums.append(input('Enter the POWERBALL NUMBER between 1 and 26 (e.g. 14):\n> '))
if not player_nums[5].isnumeric():
have_exceptions_p = True
have_exceptions = True
elif int(player_nums[5]) > 26:
have_exceptions_p = True
have_exceptions = True
number_of_sim = input('How many times should I simulate this? (max 10000):\n> ')
if not number_of_sim.isnumeric():
have_exceptions_s = True
have_exceptions = True
elif int(number_of_sim) > 10000:
have_exceptions_s = True
have_exceptions = True
if not have_exceptions:
break # inputs past all the tests, break out the loop.
if have_exceptions_n:
player_nums[:5] = input('One of your given lottery numbers are not valid. Enter numbers that follow the rules (seperate with spaces):\n> ').split()
elif have_exceptions_p:
player_nums[5] = input('Your POWERBALL NUMBER is not valid. Enter something like this: 24\n> ')
elif have_exceptions_s:
number_of_sim = input('Your given simulaiton number is not a number. Enter something like this: 7809\n> ')
for i in range(len(player_nums)):
player_nums = int(player_nums)
number_of_sim = int(number_of_sim)
return player_nums, number_of_sim


Output:

Enter 5 numbers between 1 and 69, seperate with spaces (e.g. 1 2 3 4 5):
6 3 45 2 13
Enter the POWERBALL NUMBER between 1 and 26 (e.g. 14):
2
How many times should I simulate this (max 10000):
67

I have tried to put global have_exceptions_n on the next line of def get_input(): and it give me an NameError: 'have_exceptions_n' was not defined and then, I searched on the internet but it didn't help. Is there any ways I can get this program run properly?
