How can I create a random class that includes an array of number and an array of strings

I am doing with a GUI button. When user click it, it will get number or a word randomly. I know how to do it with just numbers,but i don't know how to deal with both words and numbers.

int[] numbers = new int[5] { 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 20000};
Random rd = new Random();
int randomIndex = rd.Next(0, 5);
int randomNumber = numbers[randomIndex];
button1.Text = randomNumber.ToString();

One solution for the string would be to create a List of string you want to display, and then get the random number by Random.Next() to display the string in that particular index. Something like:

List<string> words = new List<string> { "Dog", "Cat", "Bird", "Monkey" };
Random rnd = new Random();

... and then in your implementation of the Button Click

int index = rnd.Next(words.Count); //important to limit the random result by the number of the words available
string randomString = words[index]; //Here it is
button1.Text = randomString;
