Frequently asked questions
Is every name equally likely?
Yes. Each name has the same chance, and the draw uses your browser's secure random source.
How do I pick several winners?
Set 'How many to pick' to the number you need. The same name cannot be picked twice in one draw.
Can I draw one name after another without repeats?
Tick 'Remove picked names from the list'. Each pick then leaves the list, so the next draw is from the names that are left.
Can I put someone in twice?
Yes. Add their name on two lines to give them two chances.
