Random list picker — draw lots online

Paste a list and draw random winners. Pick one, pick several, or shuffle the whole list. Cryptographically random, no account.

8 entries

Paste a list and press Draw. Every pick uses the browser’s cryptographic random number generator, and nothing is uploaded.

How to use the random list picker

The plain-text version of the spinning wheel: paste a list, choose how many to draw, and get the result without the animation. Good for raffles with a hundred entries, picking today’s reviewer, or drawing lots to settle who goes first.

  1. Paste your list

    One entry per line. Blank lines are ignored; duplicates are kept, so an entry listed twice has twice the chance.

  2. Draw

    Choose how many to draw. Winners are drawn without replacement, so nobody is picked twice in a single draw.

  3. Keep going or copy

    Remove the winners and draw again for the next prize, or copy the result — including a shuffle of the whole list when you need an order rather than a winner.

About this tool

Drawing lots is one of the oldest ways to make a decision nobody can argue with — the point was never randomness for its own sake, it was removing the person who chose. A digital draw keeps that property as long as the list is agreed before the draw, not after.

For groups rather than winners, use the team generator. For a draw the whole room should watch happen, use the name picker wheel.

Frequently asked questions

Is the draw actually random?
Yes. Every pick comes from crypto.getRandomValues, the browser’s cryptographic random number generator, with the modulo bias removed. It is not Math.random with a shuffle on top.
Can someone verify the draw?
Not cryptographically, and no browser tool can offer that. For a prize draw that has to be provable, publish the entry list first and draw in front of witnesses — or use a service that commits to a seed in advance.
What is the difference from the wheel?
Only the presentation. The wheel is for a room watching a screen; this page is for a long list and a fast answer, and it can draw several winners at once.
Do you keep my list?
No. It stays in the page. Closing the tab discards it.
