Using classical results of Rogers [12, Theorem 1] bounding the L2-norm of Siegel transforms, we give bounds on the heights of approximate integral solutions of quadratic equations and error terms in the quantitative Oppenheim theorem of Eskin-Margulis-Mozes [6] for almost every quadratic form. Further applications yield quantitative information on the distribution of values of random polynomials at integral points.

Keywords: Random lattices, Rogers' formula, Oppenheim's conjecture.
