Random Name Picker

Pick winners fairly at random

Paste a list — one entry per line — or set a number range, then draw as many winners as you need. Every pick pulls from your browser's cryptographic random source using rejection sampling, so no entry is quietly favored the way a naive random % n draw can be.

Because it runs entirely in your browser, your list of names, emails, or ticket numbers never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded and there's no sign-up. Turn on "remove winners" to run a multi-round giveaway where nobody can win twice, or switch to shuffle mode to randomize an entire list into a fresh running order.

Honest caveat: this is a fair everyday picker, not a certified or audited random draw. For legally regulated sweepstakes or high-stakes prizes, use a licensed drawing service and keep an auditable record of the result.

• Giveaway winners: Drop your entrant list in and pull one grand-prize winner plus a couple of backups in a single draw.
• Multi-round raffles: Remove winners as you go so each new draw only pulls from people who haven't already won.
• Classroom cold-calls: Pick a student at random and keep the "remove" option on so the same names don't come up twice.
• Number draws: Generate unbiased numbers or pick a random seat, ticket, or ID from a range without listing them all.
• Random order: Shuffle a roster into a random sequence for standups, demo slots, presentations, or bracket seeding.
• Tie-breaker: Settle "who goes first" or "which option wins" with a coin-flip-quality draw instead of guessing.

Privacy: This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your entries are never uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere — the draw happens on your device and disappears when you close the tab.
