This paper is a continuation of the previous paper by the authors [J. Anal. Math. 105, 363--378 (2008; Zbl 1153.43004)] and answers a question of H. Niederreiter. If \((\xi_n)_n\) is a sequence of independent Poisson random variables with parameter \(w_n\) such that \(\lim_{n\to \infty} n w_n = \infty\) and \(w_n = b(n)/ n\), where \(b (n)\) is a function of ``slowly variation'', then the random set \(\Lambda = \{ n \geq 1\,;\;\xi_n > 0\}\) is almost surely uniformly distributed in the Bohr group. Such a result (with \((0,1)\)-Bernoulli random variables \(\varepsilon_n\) of expectation \(\delta_n\)) was proved by \textit{J. Bourgain} [Isr. J. Math. 61, No.~1, 39--72 (1988; Zbl 0642.28010)] under the assumption that \((\delta_n)_n\) decreases, and in a more general setting, with a simpler proof, by \textit{S. Neuwirth} [Ann. Inst. Fourier 49, No.~6, 1853--1867 (1999; Zbl 0955.42009)] (see also \textit{D. Li}, \textit{H. Queffélec} and \textit{L. Rodríguez-Piazza} [J. Anal. Math. 86, 105--138 (2002; Zbl 1018.43004)]).
