- Choose how many winners, or put everyone in order.
- Press Draw. Press again for a new draw.
Frequently asked questions
- Is it really random?
- Yes. It uses the browser’s cryptographic random numbers (the kind used for passwords) and an unbiased shuffle, so every name, and every order, is exactly as likely as any other.
- Can I prove the draw was fair?
- The draw happens on your screen and is not recorded anywhere. For a public giveaway, draw live on a shared screen or a recording.
- Can the same name win twice?
- Only if you allow it. By default the winners are all different.
