Pi isn't 'truely random'.
I know what you're saying though. You're trying to say that you have an infinite set of random numbers, say 0 through 9 and are generated in an infinite sequence. Random here as pertaining to no physical bound; IE the numbers are not generated by any set of rules other than probabilistic ones.
In this case then yes there will be a string of a googleplex of 0's.
It's pretty easy to imagine why if you stick to the definition of infinity. Remember, it's unbounded, so there are no bounds on this string of numbers.
