A fair, versatile random picker
Multiple winners, no duplicates
Draw 1, 3, or 10 winners from the same list: a name can never come up twice.
Numbers within a range
Between 1 and 100, between 1 and 49, or any bounds you like, with or without repeats.
Random teams
Set the number of teams or the size of each team, and players are assigned at random.
Fair
The browser's cryptographic random generator guarantees every participant has exactly the same chance.
Pick the winners of a giveaway
Running a giveaway on Instagram, a raffle for a club, or an office lottery? Paste the list of participants, one per line, set the number of winners, and run the draw: names are drawn without duplicates, all at once. Copy the result to announce it, and take a screenshot if you want to keep a record. The numbers mode is also handy for drawing a ticket number or a random number between 1 and 100.
Organize a secret santa
For a secret santa, draw all the names in the list: you get a random order. Each person then gives a gift to the next one, and the last person gives to the first. No one can draw themselves, and everyone receives exactly one gift. Note that whoever runs the draw sees all the pairings: hand it to someone who isn't taking part, or notify each person individually.
Form random teams
Sunday football match, group work in class, workshops at a seminar: paste the list of participants, choose the number of teams or the number of people per team, and the split is done in one click, with no arguing. For a more dramatic draw to project in front of an audience, try our “Spin the Wheel”.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the random draw really random?
Yes. It uses your browser's cryptographic random generator, far more reliable than a simple pseudo-random generator: every name or number has exactly the same probability of being drawn.
How do I draw several winners without duplicates?
In “names” mode, set the number of winners you want: names are drawn without replacement, so the same name can't come up twice.
How do I draw a random number between 1 and 100?
Choose “numbers” mode, set 1 and 100 as the bounds, the number of draws you want, then specify whether the same number can come up more than once.
Can I form balanced teams?
The tool splits participants at random, into teams as equal in size as possible. It doesn't take each person's skill level into account.
Is my list of participants sent anywhere?
No. The draw happens entirely in your browser: the names you paste are never sent over the internet.
