Frequently Asked Questions
How do I run a giveaway with this tool?
Add all participant names (one per line using Bulk paste, or type them individually). Set the winner count, disable duplicates so each name can only win once, then click 'Pick Winner'. The results are selected using a cryptographically random shuffle.
Can I pick more than one winner?
Yes. Set the 'Winners' number field to how many winners you need. With duplicates disabled, each participant can only appear once in the results. The winner count cannot exceed the number of unique participants.
Is the pick truly random?
Yes. The random selection uses the Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues) for a cryptographically secure shuffle, the same standard used in professional security and lottery tools. It is significantly more random than Math.random().
Can I use this for classroom activities?
Yes. Add student names, set the winner count to 1 (or more for group activities), and click pick. The draw history keeps a record of all draws so you can track who has been picked previously.
