Thanks everyone for your help. A couple different ways actually worked
that you all suggested.
That was just driving me crazy not being able to figure out the small
details of a random number in Rails. Every language does it slightly
differently too.
Thanks,
Justin

How about something like:
"%09d" % rand(10)
Or... this way seems even better:
Array.new(9){rand 10}.join
Where 9 can be replaced by however many digits you want.

What I did:
def self.generate_invoice_id
record = Object.new
while record
random = rand(9)
record = find(:first, :conditions => ["invoice_id = ?", random])
end
return random
end
Put that in the model and I get a random invoice number when I need
it..

Would something like this do the trick?
random = Array.new(6){rand(6)}.join
