Frequently asked questions
Is the random name picker really fair?
Yes. It uses crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographic random generator, with a method that gives every entry exactly the same chance. Nothing is weighted or remembered between draws.
Can I pick several winners without repeats?
Yes. Set how many to pick and each entry can be drawn only once per pick. Turn on Remove picked names to keep drawing from what's left.
Can I use this for a giveaway?
Yes, for a list you've collected. Paste the eligible entries, remove duplicates, pick, and screenshot the result with the date as a record.
