I interpreted this (despite the subject, which I didn't notice) as 'how
can I arrange that every time this page is run it will generate a
different number?'

If that is indeed the question, then you need to save the latest number
(or all of them, if they are indeed to be random rather than sequential)
locally on the server - either in a file or in a database.
