Can it pick multiple names?

Yes. Set the count and it draws that many names without repeating the same entry in one pick.

Are names uploaded?

No. Everything stays in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.

Can I pick with replacement?

Each pick avoids duplicates within a single draw. Click again to draw a fresh set.

Can it draw multiple at once?

Yes - set a quantity and it draws multiple names in one go without repeats in that draw.

Are the names uploaded?

🎁

Draw a fair winner.

🏫

Call on students randomly.

🎲

Pick players or roles.

For lotteries, roll-calls, and selections, manual picking is easily swayed by favoritism and bias. Random drawing is both fair and reproducible.

The tool stores the name list as lines in an array and uses a shuffle algorithm to pick the first N, avoiding repeats within a single draw.

Paste 30 student names, set to draw 3, and one click yields 3 lucky winners - a transparent and fair process.
