A sort of an analogy to this would be a slot game. A slot machine game is random. In other words at any given time any one of the combinations can hit for a win. However the grand sceme outcome is set so that a) there are only a certain amount of possibilieis and b) the odds are set for payouts.
Does this mean the game is rigged or that there is a possibility of a random win?

Technically, if all of the applicable laws were known and reliable numbers could be plugged in, it would be possible to know the outcome of any given "pull." For practical reasons, it is not. However, not knowing how human decisions are made doesn't make them free, although it may help us sustain the sensation that they are free.
