I was trying out the Random Character Creation option, and I noticed that, as I was going to choose the race I wanted, a bunch of the races were missing. For example, Lizardfolk, Orc and Triton are missing. Why is that?
Only some races are free to play, the ones listed under PHB/Basic Rules in the Game rules / Races on this site.
All the races in your list are in Volo's Guide to Monsters if you want to crate a character with one of those races you have to do one of the following: Buy Volo's for $29.99 Buy all the Races from Volo's for $9.99 Buy an individual Race for $1.99
If you go for the 2nd or 3rd option you the amount you spend is deducted from the price of Volo's if you buy it later.
Not everything in the PHB is free. So, for example, you can’t choose Forest Gnome in the random builder, either. Buying a race won’t help you in the Random or Optimized sections of the character builder, but it will in the Standard section.
I think I remember hearing about a trick where you could start making a non-random character, back out, then choose random and all your unlocked content would be available.

That's not it Jegpeg. I have far more races available to me than the Random character Race options show.
I believe it's just a matter of the new races haven't been added to the random character tool.

Weird, and I thought it was because I didn't buy the full digital content for of the books.
