Why is this randomized number generator only outputting 2?

I'm trying to choose a random number from 1-3. It only ever outputs 2.

math.randomseed(tick())
local decal = math.random(3)

To program a random number from 1 to 3, first we must set a variable to this number. Let's call this variable RandomNumber.

This is all you have to do.

RandomNumber = math.random(1,3)

If you want it to choose a number from let's say, 3 to 7, then you would declare:

RandomNumber = math.random(3,7)

This will set RandomNumber to a random value from 1 to 3. (Or at least the first line will)
