No, actually impossible.

The "randomly assigned" plates aren't random, they're sequential. They have a pattern, like letter-number-letter-letter-letter-number-number, and they stamp plate after plate to ship out to DMVs to have ready. Every state has a pattern, they look random by design - they only pick certain letters and cycle through the numbers before picking the next run, you won't get something like this on a "random" plate
