Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pick a random item from a list?
Paste your items into the box above, one per line, then click Pick a Winner. One item is selected at random and shown as the winner. You can keep picking to run multiple rounds, and previous picks are listed below.
Is the random pick truly random and fair?
Yes. The picker uses your browser's cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), which is unbiased and unpredictable — much stronger than a basic Math.random shuffle. Every item has an equal chance of being chosen.
Can I use this for a raffle or giveaway?
Absolutely. Paste your entrants one per line and pick a winner. Because it runs entirely in your browser with cryptographic randomness, it is fair and transparent for raffles, giveaways, prize draws, and contests.
Does the list get uploaded anywhere?
No. Your list never leaves your device — the pick happens locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, saved, or logged.
Can it pick more than one winner?
Pick repeatedly to draw multiple winners; each round is logged in the history below so you can track who has already been selected.
