    The probability of getting a finite number is pretty much zero.

    For any range [0; n], where n is finite, there are always infinitely many numbers larger than n, so the probability of getting a number in said range is n/(n+infinity). I feel very confident in saying that something with that probability will never happen.

      The probability of getting any number with a given set of characteristics is pretty much 0, but that doesn’t mean the number doesn’t exist once generated.

      If there’s any probability of an event, on an infinite timeline, it occurs infinite times.
