Думаю, ЗДЕСЬ not randomly не передает реальный смысл русского выражения "не случайно".

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 6 years ago

Other than positioning in a sentence, there is no difference between At Random and Randomlyand they can be used interchangeably.

i.e. "At random" comes after the verb, while "Randomly" can come either before or after the verb.

E.g.

The winning numbers are randomly selected by a monkey.

The winning numbers are selected randomly by a monkey.

The winning numbers are selected at random by a monkey.

Here is an Ngram of their usage

Ну, и еще там было вот это:
"From my sense of general preference of native speakers. Competent speakers tend to prefer Your name was chosen at random over Your name was chosen randomly. I believe this preference stems from the nuance of the preposition at, a nuance which the adverbial ending ly does not have. Tᴚoɯɐuo Sep 11 '17 at 17:26"

То есть, нейтивы противоречат. Улий их рассудит.))

"randomly" - это когда вы выбираете один из нескольких возможных вариантов. Как при игре в рулетку.
В данном случае подходит выражение The name was chosen by no mere chance.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 6 years ago

Практически не употребляется.

При этом я не утверждаю, что мой вариант 100% правильный.
