I have found a discussion on this thema. See

http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2007-03/msg00564.html

So I have changed the example to

-------------------------------------------------------------
\starttext
\startluacode
math.randomseed(os.time())
_=math.random()
\stopluacode

Encode your Name and Surname as a
\startluacode
local a = {'null-terminated', 'dollar-terminated', 'Pascal'}
context('%s string', a[math.random(1,3)])
\stopluacode
\stoptext
-------------------------------------------------------------

and this is working ok!
