Random State Generator

Pick a random US state — one at a time, or a whole list at once. All 50 states, each equally likely, with capitals and postal abbreviations you can copy straight into a spreadsheet.

Draft a list with no repeats

Click once per pick. Each result is added to a running list and no state is ever drawn twice, so you can work down a class roster or a set of assignments without tracking what you have already used. Reset clears the list and puts all 50 back in the pool.

Generate a batch

Need a set all at once? Choose how many and get that many distinct states in a single click, then copy them out as plain lines, as CSV with the capital and abbreviation as columns, or as a numbered list.

How the randomness works

Each draw uses the browser's own random number generator and every state carries exactly the same weight — a 2% chance per draw. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere, and no state is favored by population, size, or alphabetical position.

Separate clicks are independent, so the same state can come up twice in a row. That is what fair randomness looks like, and it is why a batch or draft draw — which explicitly excludes what it has already picked — is the right tool when you need every result to be different.
