RANDOM NUMBER SELECTIONS FROM A RANGE
Here's a sample sheet showing and example of what it sound like you're looking to do.
Jerry Beaucaire's Excel Tools

(The file you want is RandomNumGenerator.xls)

The OPTIONS to choose from are in column J. Column D selects 10 items at random using an INDEX/MATCH() and SMALL() against the random-key in column K. Works like a charm.

See if you can work out adapting that for your values.
