I was setting up Apple Pay and this number was used for the text message verification. I have never seen this number in my life. Did a verification number get sent to a random person?

No, unless your bank made an error. The verification comes from the bank. Apple is not a bank and cannot verify cards. The bank uses information it has on file for sending verification requests.
Adding additional verification
A card issuer can decide whether a credit or debit card requires additional verification. Depending on what’s offered by the card issuer, the user may be able to choose between different options for additional verification, such as a text message, email, customer service call or a method in an approved third-party app to complete the verification. For text messages or email, the user selects from contact information the issuer has on file.
A code is sent, which must be entered into Apple Wallet, Settings or the Apple Watch
app. For customer service or verification using an app, the issuer performs their own communication process.
