Run a random draw from a list of names or items — one entry per line — to pick winners, assign tasks, or break ties fairly.
How it works
Paste entries separated by newlines (blank lines are ignored). Each spin uses a uniform random index across the remaining list, selects one entry, and displays it as the outcome. You can spin again for independent draws or remove winners manually for elimination-style raffles.
When to use it
Classroom participation, giveaway winner selection, chore assignment among roommates, or agile sprint demo order — anywhere a quick unbiased pick beats “whoever speaks first.”
Limitations
Randomness comes from Math.random() — fine for casual use, not certified for regulated lotteries or high-stakes gambling. Duplicate lines are treated as separate tickets. Very long lists remain functional but may be awkward to review visually.
Fairness note
For public drawings with accountability requirements, document the process and consider auditable random sources; this browser tool is a convenience aid, not a notarized lottery system.
