Glua's random is just pseudo random.. So how much predictable is it?
Pretty predictable, but it should do unless you are having a lottery. In that case you could query random.org.

If you know what the seed is, completely predictable.
You could even make a graph of the results to find out when to get the desired value.

If you know what value you want, why use math.random?
