Have batch file read the same random number?

Need help here, I'm trying to make my batch file print a random number, and then repeat that random number multiple times, here's what I want.

echo Your ID is: %RANDOM%
echo Again, your ID is: %RANDOM%

Is there anyway to have the two randoms match each other and print the same number? But be different everytime I open the .bat?

set random2=%RANDOM%
echo Your ID is: %random2%
echo Again, Your ID is: %random2%

basically, set random2=%RANDOM% sets a variable named "random2" to said random number. then, echo Your ID is: %random2% will print correctly, along with the second echo. let's say the random number is 10082. the code states it as:

Your ID is: 10082
Again, Your ID is: 10082
