Random Picker & Raffle FAQ

Fair draws, privacy, and how winners are chosen

Basics

How do I run a raffle?
Paste one name per line, set how many winners you want, press Spin.
Is it free?
Yes. No account required.
Does it work offline?
After the page has loaded, yes — the draw runs entirely in your browser.

Fairness

Is the draw truly random?
When available, we use crypto.getRandomValues with rejection sampling so every remaining entry has an equal chance. We do not use a biased Math.random() path unless the secure API is missing.
Can the same person win twice?
Turn on Remove winners from pool so winners are excluded from later spins in this session. Use Restore pool to put everyone back.
What about duplicate names?
Enable Remove duplicates (on by default) so identical lines (case-insensitive) only appear once.

Privacy

Is my list uploaded?
No. Names never leave your browser for the draw. See the site Privacy Policy for ads/cookies.
Is history saved?
Only in this browser tab for the current session. Refresh clears it.

Tips

How do I show a transparent draw?
Screen-share the page so viewers see the spin animation and final name.
Legal lottery?
This is a casual utility, not a certified lottery or gambling platform. Follow your local rules for real-money raffles.
