var message = "<p>" + "You will Become a millionaire at the age of:" + randomNumber "</p>";

The error is at this line, you forgot to put a + after randomNumber i think ! like this : var message = "<p>" + "You will Become a millionaire at the age of:" + randomNumber + "</p>";

Hugo was right, you were missing the "+" sign, (and that did need to be fixed), but your main problem is actually a little different. Your html file is unable to find your javascript file. What's that you say? Well, somehow, accidentally I suppose, in your html file it is searching for

<script scr="scripts.js"><script>

however the name of your javascript file is "script.js", you can either rename your javascript file or change the html script part to

<script scr="script.js"><script>

hope that helps
