How to pick a random winner
- Paste your list of names or entries, one per line (commas work too).
- Press Spin the wheel for suspense, great on a projector or livestream, or Draw instantly to pick several winners at once.
- In one draw, each entry can only win once.
Is it fair?
Yes. Picks use crypto.getRandomValues, your browser’s cryptographically secure random generator, with no bias toward any position in the list. Nobody, including us, can influence the result.
Ideas
- Instagram, YouTube and TikTok giveaways
- Choosing a student to answer, or random groups
- Secret Santa order, team captains, or what to eat for dinner
