Not sure of what all you are trying to do, but something like this should work
(not tested though)
<CFSET SUCCESSNUM = FALSE>
<CFLOOP CONDITION="SuccessNum EQ FALSE">
<cfloop from="1" to="#ShowCompetitions.prizeCount">
<cfset RandomWinner = RandRange(1, FindEntries.RecordCount)>
<!--- Check Dups --->
<CFIF NoDuplicates>
<!--- Add to DATABASE --->
<!--- Set SuccessCondition --->
<CFSET SUCCESSNUM = TRUE>
<!--- Abort First Loop --->
<CFABORT>
</CFIF>
</cfloop>
<CFIF SUCCESSNUM EQ TRUE>
<CFABORT>
</CFIF>
</CFLOOP>

Subject: Random Numbers
Hi guys,
I'm trying to write an app which will choose three random numbers for a
competition based on how many etnries there are. I'm having problems trying to
work out a way not to choose the same number twice, is there a way to do that
which will fit into my CFLOOP structure? Or is there a better way to do it?
<cfloop from="1" to="#ShowCompetitions.prizeCount">
<cfset RandomWinner = RandRange(1, FindEntries.RecordCount)>
<cfquery name="competitionWinner" datasource="user020">
INSERT INTO tbl_020competitionWinners (competitionID, entryID)
VALUES ('#FindEntries.competitionID[i]#', '#ShowCompetitions.competitionID[i]#')
</cfquery>
</cfloop>
Thanks,
Saturday
