Random Name Picker: Fair Draws for Giveaways and Groups (Free Tool)

Perfect for giveaways, classroom picks and decision tiebreaks.

Using it well

One entry per line: paste names from a spreadsheet column, a chat list, or type them directly. Empty lines are ignored automatically.

The rolling animation is showmanship for live streams; the actual pick happens with uniform randomness, every option equally likely every draw.

For multi-prize raffles: enable removal, draw first prize, second, third. Each winner exits the pool, exactly like pulling tickets from a drum.

Worth remembering

  • Screenshot the list before drawing for giveaway transparency: entrants love proof of a clean pool.
  • Team-splitting use: shuffle repeatedly and take the first N lines of a copy-pasted result as team one.
