How do I produce an array where the first two numbers are set and the rest are random?

Question

I need to make an array populated with 28 random numbers and 2 others: 1 and -100. Following I was able to produce the random numbers all between 20 and 100; however, I don't know how to set [0] and [1] to 1 and -100.

    for ( int i = 2 ; i < prizeBoxes.length ; i++) {
        
        prizeBoxes[i] = (int) Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min) +min);

    }

public void initializeBoxes () {

prizeBoxes[0] = 1;
prizeBoxes[1] = -100;

    int min = 20;
    int max = 100;  

for ( int i = 2 ; i < prizeBoxes.length ; i++) {
        
    
     prizeBoxes[i] = (int) Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min) +min);

    }

for ( int i=0; i < prizeBoxes.length ; i++){
System.out.println(prizeBoxes[i]) ;

    }

}
