About Random Picker

Six draws in one place — winner, shuffle, balanced teams, a number in a range, dice and a coin. Randomness comes from the browser's secure generator, which is what makes a prize draw defensible rather than merely arbitrary.

Draw a fair, random winner from a list of names for a giveaway or raffle, or shuffle the list into a new order. Each pick uses your browser's secure random source.

Draw a random winner from a list, shuffle entries into a new order, split people into balanced teams, generate a number in a range, roll dice or flip a coin. It is the fair, fuss-free way to run a giveaway, pick who goes first or settle a decision.

Paste names or numbers and let it choose impartially. For a public draw the property that matters is that the outcome cannot be predicted or steered — including by whoever is running it.

Frequently asked questions

Is the pick genuinely random?

It uses your browser's crypto random source rather than a simple pseudo-random function, so results are not predictable from previous draws. For a raffle or giveaway that is more than sufficient; for anything legally binding you want a documented, auditable process instead.

Can the same name be drawn twice?

A single pick always returns one name from the list. To draw several winners without repeats, remove each name after it is drawn — otherwise repeated picks are independent and the same name can come up again.

How should I format my list?

One entry per line. Blank lines are ignored, so you can paste straight from a spreadsheet column or a chat export without tidying it up first.
