In this paper we introduce the well distributed occurrences (WDO) combinatorial property for infinite words, which guarantees good behavior (no lattice structure) in some related pseudorandom number generators. An infinite word u on a d-ary alphabet has the WDO property if, for each factor w of u, positive integer m, and vector v, there is an occurrence of w such that the Parikh vector of the prefix of u preceding such occurrence is congruent to v modulo m. We prove that Sturmian words, and more generally Arnoux-Rauzy words and some morphic images of them, have the WDO property.
