picker
Paste the names, choose how many winners, press pick. Cryptographically fair selection for giveaways, chores, seating, presentation order — anything with a list and a decision.
How the pick works
Your list is shuffled with a Fisher–Yates shuffle driven by cryptographic randomness — the textbook-correct method where every ordering is exactly equally likely — and the top of the shuffle wins. Multiple winners are just the top n, so nobody can win twice and every entry has an identical chance.
Private by construction
The list never leaves your browser — nothing is uploaded, stored or logged, which matters when the list is customer names or students. It also means there's no receipt: for a public giveaway where entrants want proof, run the pick live on a stream or screen recording, which is the standard practice.
Weighted entries
Want someone to have double the chance (say, two raffle tickets)? Paste their name twice — duplicates are legitimate entries, and the math handles it naturally. For numbered draws instead of names, the random number generator covers ranges directly.
Random picker FAQ
Paste the entries one per line, set the number of winners, and press pick. A cryptographically random Fisher–Yates shuffle selects them with perfectly equal odds.
Not in one pick — multiple winners are drawn without replacement. If you want repeat wins to be possible, run separate single picks.
No — everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored, which also means each pick is unrepeatable; record the screen if you need proof for a public giveaway.
Yes — paste their name once per ticket. Two lines means exactly double the chance; the shuffle treats every line as an equal entry.
