I have a large bag filled with 3 red and 1234567890 blue marbles. When i select one... the probability of me selecting red is very low. I reach in, and select a red marble. This was a random selection. My next 1234567890 selections from the bag could all be red. The 1234567891th selection could be blue. Blindly choosing a marble from a bag of marbles is really quite random 
How is it random? Because you could choose any marble from the bag. That's how the choice was random
It is only not random if there is some sort of fate guiding the universe, or otherwise influencing the choice knowledgeably.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
