>>Is it possible to return numbers from 1 to 10,000 in a aleatory way ?

I think the French mathematicians (Bourbaki, maybe?) introduced a distinction between aleatory and stochastic. Aleatory (as in "alea iacta est") is something that gives a random event from a predefined discrete set of possible events, as in a cast of dice or toss of a coin. Stochastic would take any possible value from an infinite set of real (or complex) values. The set may be limited, but not finite.
