Draw a fair winner
When you need to pick one name from many — a prize winner, who presents first, whose turn it is — a random draw keeps it fair. Paste your list and let the picker choose.
The tool runs a brief spin through the names for suspense, then settles on a uniformly random winner where everyone had an equal shot. Draw again anytime for a fresh pick.
Fair and private
The draw happens in your browser, so your list of names is never uploaded.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the winner chosen?
Every name has an equal chance. The tool briefly cycles through names for effect, then lands on a uniformly random pick.
What is it good for?
Giveaways, choosing who goes first, picking a lunch spot, or classroom cold-calls.
Can names repeat across draws?
Yes. Each draw is independent, so the same name can win twice. Remove a winner manually if you want no repeats.
