It just happened, did not have too, but i was sure as hell glad it did! made my entire trip a great one.

Now this is an example of something that most certainly was not random. Although it might seem like it was, ultimately, that computer used a pseudo-random number generator which if you could crack, you would figure out exactly when it will pay out. Generating truly random numbers on a computer chip is a very difficult thing to do.
