Random Picker
Pick random winners from any list — perfect for giveaways, raffles and prize draws. Everything runs in your browser.
Winners are drawn locally in your browser using Math.random() — nothing is sent to any server.
How the random picker works
Paste or type your list of entries — one name, email or item per line. Choose how many winners you want to draw and whether the same entry can win more than once. Press Pick Winner(s) and the tool shuffles your list and selects the results at random, displaying them prominently so you can announce or screen-record the draw.
Drop in your list of entrants from comments, signups or a spreadsheet and draw one or several winners fairly in a single click.
Keep "no repeat" ticked to pick a set of unique winners — ideal when one person should not claim multiple prizes.
Uncheck "no repeat" to allow the same entry to be drawn again, useful for dice-style or weighted-feeling selections.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use this as a giveaway winner picker?
Collect your entrants (from comments, a signup form or a spreadsheet), paste them one per line into the entries box, set how many winners you want and click Pick Winner(s). The tool draws random winners instantly. Screen-recording the draw is a popular way to prove it was fair.
Is the random selection actually fair?
Yes. The picker uses a Fisher–Yates style shuffle driven by the browser’s Math.random(), which gives every entry an equal chance of being selected. Because everything runs locally, no list or result ever leaves your device.
What does the "no repeat" option do?
With "no repeat" checked, each entry can win at most once, so multiple winners are always different people. Unchecked, the same entry can be drawn more than once, which is handy for simulations or when duplicates are intentional.
How many entries and winners can I add?
You can paste as many entries as you like — the list only lives in your browser. You can request up to 100 winners; if you ask for more unique winners than there are entries (with no repeat on), the tool simply returns everyone on the list.
Can I use this for raffles, classroom name draws or team picks?
Absolutely. Beyond giveaways it works well for raffle draws, picking a random student to answer, choosing who goes first, splitting people into groups, or selecting a random item from any list.
