Default Random Numbers

http://www.random.org/clients/

download the Excel macro and use the code

this gets you 10,000

if you really need 65,000 Unique TRUE random numbers
you could loop through this macro 7 times ( use cutoff at end of column) use
DATA Filter advanced filter - unique values to eliminate duplicates and
loop through until all 65k are unique.

Since Random.org values are proported to be "TRUE" random, this looping and
deleting duplicates should produce "true' randoms.
