Is the probability of Random.Next() to return x the next time it’s called lower than its probability of returning y if it has just returned x?
No, if for example the number 5 is returned from your random call, the probability that 5 is chosen again is the same as any number within your range.
It helps somewhat to understand that random distribution is different from regular distribution. Random distribution tends to create clusters of similar data, and is often not as regular as you might expect.
