Random Name Picker

Pick one or more random winners from a list of names.

Your list stays on your device.

Understanding your result

Each remaining name has an equal chance on each pick. Empty lines are ignored.

Formula and method

Names are selected uniformly at random without replacement, so the same name is never picked twice in one draw.

Worked example

From a list of 30 entrants, picking 3 returns three different randomly chosen winners.

How to use this tool

  1. Paste your names, one per line.
  2. Choose how many to pick.
  3. Press Pick.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Asking for more winners than there are names.
