Random number picker with no repeats Random number 1-50
When a list has fifty items
Fifty is the size of many real lists. The United States has fifty states, a review packet might have fifty questions, and a small bake-sale raffle often sells about that many tickets. Press Draw and the result is a position in the list, which you count down to or look up in a sheet.
A favorite in classrooms is the geography version. Number the states alphabetically, draw a number and let the class say what they know about that state, or tell the student to find it on the map. Other uses are shorter: choose which of fifty chores gets done first, pick a track from a fifty-song playlist, or pick the page in a workbook that the group does together.
A single press gives one number, and nothing is kept out, so a number may come up again. To walk through the entire list, switch on Keep drawn numbers out of later draws. You then see how many are left, and Start over begins again. For ten numbers at once, change How many to 10 and draw one time.

Drawing from 1 to 50
- Press Draw or the space bar to pick a number. The newest result is at the top of Earlier draws.
- To choose a set, enter a bigger value under How many. Because No repeats is on, the numbers in one draw are all different.
- Use Sort from smallest if you want to read the set in order, then Copy to paste it somewhere.
- Changed your mind about the range? Edit From and To, for example 1 to 52 for a deck of cards.

Questions about numbers from 1 to 50
Are the numbers really random?
The browser's cryptographic random generator picks them, the same source used for passwords. Nobody can steer it, including this site.
Can I draw all fifty in a random order?
Yes. Set How many to 50 and press Draw once. You get each number exactly once, which is a ready-made random order for fifty items.
What is the chance of drawing a particular number?
It is 1 in 50, or 2 percent, on every single draw. After 50 draws with no memory, a given number appears on average once, but it may appear several times or not at all.
How can I use it to pick a state?
Write the states in alphabetical order, with Alabama as 1 and Wyoming as 50, and draw a number. It is a plain way to choose a topic for a geography lesson.
Can I keep a number from coming up twice?
Switch on Keep drawn numbers out of later draws. A number that came up stays out until you press Start over.
