Is the draw genuinely random?

Yes. The picker uses crypto.getRandomValues — a cryptographically secure source — to choose an index, so every name has an exactly equal chance of being drawn with no bias toward the top or bottom of the list.

Are my names uploaded or saved?

No. The wheel-of-names picker runs entirely in your browser. The names you paste are processed locally and never sent to a server or stored anywhere.

Can I draw multiple winners?

Yes. Enable "remove the winner after each draw" and each pick is taken out of the pool, so repeated clicks give you a fair ordered sequence of unique winners — ideal for raffles and prize draws.

How many names can I add?

There is no fixed limit — paste hundreds of names and it still draws instantly because all the work happens locally in your browser.

The Wheel of Names Picker draws a fair random winner from any list you paste — names, ticket numbers, entries, options. It is ideal for classroom rewards, giveaways, raffles and prize draws, and it runs entirely in your browser so your list stays private.

Fair, unbiased draws

The picker chooses a winner using your browser’s cryptographically secure random generator (crypto.getRandomValues). That means every name has an exactly equal chance — there is no hidden weighting toward the first or last entries, and no way to rig the result.

Sequential draws

Turn on remove the winner after each draw and each pick is taken out of the pool. Clicking again draws from the remaining names, giving you a fair ordered sequence of unique winners — perfect for “1st, 2nd, 3rd place” raffles.

Because everything happens locally, you can run as many draws as you like with no network calls and complete privacy.
