Random Name / Item Picker
Fun & DecisionEssentialPick one or multiple random winners from any list of names, raffle tickets, or options with duplicate controls.
Understanding Your Results
Selected winners are chosen uniformly at random using the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm. Each non-duplicate entry has an equal 1/N probability of selection.
Practical Guidance & Next Steps
Paste names one per line. If participants earned multiple raffle tickets, enter their name on multiple lines and keep 'Allow duplicate wins' unchecked to award unique winners.
