Twitter ID duplication

On Twitter every tweet has an int64 id assigned to it, but is it generated randomly? And if so, is it possible to have two tweets with the exact same id? I know 2^64 is a large number, but I just want to know if twitter has a way of preventing two tweets with the same id or do they rely on the fact that 2^64 is such a large number and having two of the same id's is an extremely small chance?
