The following code may help. The calculateRandoms function calculates 5 different random numbers from the numbers array each time. The random number cannot be value of excludedNumber. You can change randomCount variable to modify the number of random numbers that calculateRandoms will generate.

var excludedNumber = 10;
var randomCount = 5;
var numbers = [];
var randoms = [];
var vPool="";

// initialize array, fill it from 0 to 99
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) numbers.push(i + 1);
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#mybutton").click(function() {
        calculateRandoms(randomCount);             
    });
});
function calculateRandoms(c) { 
    randoms = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < c; i++) {
        var rnd = excludedNumber;
        while (rnd == excludedNumber && $.inArray(rnd, numbers)){
            rnd = numbers[Math.floor(Math.random() * numbers.length)];
            randoms.push(rnd);
        }
    }
    vPool='';
    $.each(randoms, function(i, val) {  
        vPool+=val + "<br />";
        $("#res").html(vPool);
    });
    //alert(randoms);
    //$("#res").html(randoms);
    //console.log(randoms);
}
