Frequently Asked Questions
Is the random selection truly random and fair?▼
Yes. The tool uses the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), which provides the same quality of randomness used in security applications. Each item has an equal probability of being selected, making it suitable for fair drawings and selections.
What is the difference between Pick One, Pick Multiple, and Shuffle?▼
'Pick One' randomly selects a single item from the list. 'Pick Multiple' selects a specified number of unique items (without duplicates). 'Shuffle' randomly reorders the entire list without removing any items — useful for determining sequence or presentation order.
Can I use this for a raffle or prize drawing?▼
Yes. Enter all participant names, then use 'Pick One' for single winner draws or 'Pick Multiple' for multiple winners. Each selection is independent and fair. For transparency, you can show the screen to participants as you make the selection since it happens visually in real time.
