How to use the name picker

What is a name picker?

A name picker randomly selects one or more people from a candidate list. It is useful for fair event draws, presentation order, task assignment, and casual games.

Features

  • Enter one candidate name per line
  • Pick 1, 2, 3, or 5 winners
  • Remove winners from the next draw
  • Duplicate cleanup and pick animation options
  • Round-by-round pick history
Events

Pick giveaway winners, raffle entries, or meetup participants quickly.

Classes

Choose presentation order, activity roles, or classroom turns fairly.

Groups and games

Select task owners, game participants, or challenge targets at random.

How should I enter names?

Enter one name per line. Empty lines are ignored automatically.

When should I remove winners?

Use this option when you run multiple draws and do not want a previous winner to appear again.

What happens with duplicate names?

When duplicate removal is enabled, repeated names are merged. If disabled, repeated names increase the chance of being selected.

Can I use it for official drawings?

It is fine for casual events, groups, and games. For legally binding or auditable drawings, use a certified drawing system.
