I am building a castle with at least four towers in Minecraft. Each tower needs 10 Jack ‘o' Lanterns, but I have only found 20 pumpkins yet.
Do pumpkins really occur at random, or are there places I should look? I have found 14 in grass and 6 in snow so far.

I've found a number of pumpkin groups in forests, others (like yourself) have found them in grassland and snow. Unfortunately, the code for generating pumpkins looks like this:
Which indicates a 1/32 chance of when generating a chunk . From there the code generates a 64 random positions within that chunk, and the positions that match a certain criteria (a block of air with grass below) makes a pumpkin. No mention of any particular biome at all.
Pumpkin generation per biome is random*. Sorry!
