"Free will" is one of those really hard things to define, so it's even harder to easily speak about. In my opinion, everything deemed to be "free will" is really "imitataion free will". Likewise, this applies to "random" events, we see them as random because we don't and can't understand the mechanics behind them. The instant the big bang occurred, everything that was going to be and was ever going to happen was determined.
As Dilbert1234567 said, "if you know the starting conditions, you can predict the outcome". Well, in the case of the big bang, we don't know the starting conditions, and therefore we cannot predict any outcomes, which is why we preceive events as random. But in that instant in time an unending chain reaction started. My typing this message isn't because of free will, it's because of the unmeasurable amount of chain reactions that occurred up to this point in time.
