Random US states

How it works

1. Use all 50 US states, the contiguous 48, or Alaska and Hawaii.
2. Choose the number of states and whether each result must be different. The pool count helps you see what is possible.
3. Pick states. Results include two-letter postal abbreviations and can be copied or exported as text.

Equal state chances, clear boundaries

Every state in your selected group has the same probability. A state is not weighted by size or population. The contiguous group excludes Alaska and Hawaii. Washington, DC and US territories are not states and are outside this 50-state collection.

Your inputs stay with you

Can I pick all 50 states in a random order?

Yes. Choose All 50 states, set the number to 50 and keep different choices enabled. Every state will appear once. A new pick starts fresh and can include states from an earlier result. Abbreviations are the official two-letter USPS codes, such as CA for California.
