Yes, there are more efficient methods to generate random numbers in the range of 1 to n where n is greater than 33000. One such method is the following:

1. Choose a random number k from a uniform distribution of integers in the range of 1 to n^2.
2. If k is greater than n, then set k = k % n + 1.
3. Return k.

This method takes advantage of the fact that a uniform distribution of integers in the range of 1 to n^2 is easy to generate using a standard random number generator, and that the probability of k being outside the range of 1 to n is very small. By reducing k modulo n and adding 1, we ensure that the resulting number is in the range of 1 to n with equal probability.

This method has a time complexity of O(1) and is therefore more efficient than other methods that require multiple random number generations or arithmetic operations.
