Frequently Asked Questions

Is the result truly random?

Yes — the tool uses JavaScript's cryptographically secure random number generation to ensure unpredictable results that cannot be predicted or manipulated.

Can I pick multiple winners?

Yes — click Pick repeatedly. With 'remove after picking' enabled, each click selects a unique winner from the remaining entries.

Can I weight the entries?

To weight entries (make some more likely to win), add them multiple times in your list. An entry appearing three times has three times the chance of being selected.

How do I make a fair random draw?

Ensure all entries are added exactly once, use the 'remove after picking' option for multiple draws, and use the tool in front of all participants for transparency.
