About this tool

Why use this tool?

Use this fast text-first picker when you need results without a spinning animation. It can select several winners, prevent repeated winners, remove selected names and produce an ordered record that is easy to copy or export.

How to use it

Paste one name per line.
Set the number of winners.
Choose whether a name can win more than once.
Select names, then copy or download the result.

Common use cases

Select volunteers
Choose multiple prize recipients
Assign an order quickly

Practical examples

Pick two volunteers from an eligible roster.
Choose one meeting presenter and remove that person for the next round.
Select several prize recipients without repeated winners.

How it works

Random values come from window.crypto.getRandomValues(). Lists are shuffled with an unbiased Fisher–Yates process. For a wheel, the result is chosen before the animation; for weighted entries, each positive weight defines its share of the total probability.

Limits to understand

The picker cannot determine whether a name is eligible.
Identical display names may represent different people.
Use aliases instead of sensitive personal data where possible.

Privacy

Input and results stay inside this browser during normal use. Local saving is optional. If you select Create Share Link, the visible list and settings are uploaded under a hard-to-guess token and expire automatically.
