Good point. It saves bytes too.
jsr RandomByte
cmp #140
bcc .shiftValue
sbc #140
.shiftValue
clc ; not guarenteed to be cleared
adc #9
or if the PRNG doesn't take too long
.nextNumber
jsr RandomByte
cmp #140+1
bcs .nextNumber
adc #9 ; clc always cleared :-)

Oops, that was to go up to compare the min value of 9 again.
Take care,
