About this tool

This tool picks one or more names from your list with the same fairness as drawing slips from a hat, but faster and without arguments. Each name has an equal chance unless you choose weighted mode, where “Sarah:3” gives Sarah three tickets and so three times the chance.

It suits classrooms (who answers next), offices (who presents, who pays for lunch), family games and small contests. You can pick several winners at once, stop the same name coming up twice, remove winners from the list automatically, and ignore accidental duplicates.

Names are chosen on your device using the browser’s cryptographic random generator, with no bias toward the top or bottom of the list. Your list is never uploaded. If you press “Copy link to this list”, the names travel inside the link itself, so a friend who opens it sees the same list ready to draw.

हिंदी में मदद

अपनी सूची में हर नाम अलग लाइन में लिखें और बटन दबाएँ। टूल बिना किसी पक्षपात के एक या कई नाम चुन देता है। सूची आपके फ़ोन या कंप्यूटर में ही रहती है, कहीं अपलोड नहीं होती।

Questions

Is the pick really random?

Yes. The tool uses your browser’s cryptographic random generator and a method that avoids bias, so every name on the list has the same chance (unless you turn on weighted tickets).

How do I give someone better odds?

Turn on “Weighted” and write a number after a colon, like Sarah:3. Sarah then has three tickets while a plain name has one.

Can I pick several winners without repeats?

Yes. Set how many to pick. One draw never returns the same name twice, and “Never pick the same name twice” also keeps earlier winners out of later draws.

Is my list saved or uploaded?

No. The list stays in your browser tab. Only if you copy the share link does the list go into that link, and it is not stored on any server.
