>>I have to manage the numbers generated. For example result of rand(75) + 1 could be 1 and then result of rand(74) + 1 could also be 1. So I have to have a cursor containing humbers I don't want anymore.

Got it- but also the result of RAND()*74+1 can never be 75, meaning 75 can only ever be first in the list, or never seen. The same is true of any result n that can only ever appear before position 77-n.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
