Picking a winner fairly
A random picker takes the bias out of choosing. Paste the names, press the button and the result is decided by chance, not by who asks loudest.
Good uses
- Giveaways and prize draws
- Picking a student in class
- Choosing who leads a task
- Deciding the order of a list
With "don't repeat" ticked, the previous winner is left out of the next draw, which is useful for running several rounds.
Frequently asked questions
Is the choice truly random?
It uses the browser's random number generator, which is fair enough for everyday draws.
Can I keep the same person from winning twice?
Yes, tick the option and the last winner is skipped.
Are the names stored?
No, they stay in your browser and are gone when you close the page.
