Generate random numbers in a range every second?

[-[ CaMeL ]- a55m0nk]

I have attempted to create a javascript that displays on the page a
random number between 100,000 and 600,000, and then displays a new
random number in the same place every second after that. It is for a
fake users online for a gag website i am making in school.

any help would be much appreciated

<p>Users online: <span id="usersFake"></span></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
var numberText = document.createTextNode("");
document.getElementById("usersFake").appendChild(n umberText);
function updateFakeUsers() {
numberText.nodeValue = Math.floor(Math.random()*500000)+100000;
}
updateFakeUsers();
setInterval(updateFakeUsers,1000);
</script>

If you want it to seem believable at all, you might consider
having it start at a number somewhere in that range and each
second add a random number between -10,000 and +10,000.

That will avoid jumps of several hundred thousand people per
second.
