If you don't want to programm your own random number generator but instead want to use something done, C++11 have a complete random number library defined in <random>. There, the standard library defines facilities for generating (pseudo-)random numbers with different distributions. I consider this library one of the most complete and advanced random number generator that exist. So, take a look to it.
Google "C++11 random number" to find tutorials.
