About this tool
When a group needs a fair pick, a name picker beats pointing. Paste the names separated by commas and this tool returns one random choice from the list, along with the count it chose from. It is handy for raffles, speaking order, and team captains.
Frequently asked questions
Can a name be picked twice across picks?
Yes. Each pick is independent unless you remove the winner from the list yourself.
Do duplicate names change the odds?
Yes. A name listed twice has twice the chance, so clean duplicates first for a fair draw.
