About this generator
A raffle is only as trustworthy as its draw, and a hand-pulled name from a hat leaves room for doubt even when nobody is cheating. This picker makes the process visibly fair: it shuffles your entry list with a cryptographically secure random number generator — the same class of randomness used for security tokens — and draws the winners from the shuffled order, so every entry has an exactly equal chance.
Paste names one per line, choose how many winners to draw, and hit the button. The result lands with a short draw animation followed by a numbered winner reveal, and each winner copies to the clipboard for posting in chat or on screen. By default winners are distinct — one entry can't take two prizes; flip the toggle when an entry should be able to win multiple times, like a pick-one-per-round format.
It's a natural fit for giveaways on social media, classroom rewards, team-building draws, holiday gift exchanges, and any contest where "trust me, it was random" isn't good enough. For anything with real stakes, state the rules (who counts as an entry, how many draws, duplicates allowed or not) before you start. Entries are processed in memory and never stored.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the draw actually fair?
Yes — the entry list is shuffled with a cryptographically secure random number generator (Fisher-Yates), so every entry has an exactly equal chance of winning.
Can one entry win multiple prizes?
Not by default: winners are distinct. Enable the duplicates option when each draw should be independent, like a pick-one-per-round format.
How many entries and winners are supported?
Between 1 and 100 entries, drawing 1 to 25 winners (no more than the entry count unless duplicates are allowed).
Can I use this for a real giveaway?
Yes — it's a genuine cryptographic shuffle, not a visible trick. For anything with stakes, state the rules (entry list, draw count, duplicates) before you start, and record the result.
Are entries stored?
No. Names are processed in memory and discarded the moment the result is returned to your browser.
