Random Name Picker
Paste a list of names or items and draw one or more random winners without repeats.
Useful for classroom participation, team standups, giveaways and prize drawings. The list is shuffled with a Fisher Yates shuffle, so every entry has the same chance of being drawn.
Winners are chosen without repeats.
How to use this tool
Put one name per line, choose how many winners you need, then press Pick randomly. Use Copy winners to paste the result into chat or email.
Example use case
A small business draws 3 winners from 240 newsletter subscribers for a gift card giveaway.
Limitations and accuracy notes
The list stays in your browser and is not saved between visits. For giveaways with legal requirements, keep your own audit record of the entries and the result.
