The other way around is feasible: replace "random" (= any) numbers by a constant.
Here is a pseudo-random approach which may suit your purposes. Logically, it is not random, but it may appear to be when you do not know it isn't.
You could perform 6 separete replaces for each constant sequence with a varying pre- of suffix.
Find:
([aeiouy].*)season 4
Replace by:
$1season 1
Find:
([bcdfg].*)season 4
Replace by:
$1season 2
etc. You may apply a more strict pre- or suffix, because it is very likely that certain letters will appear in most or all lines, while other may be very scarce.
