About this tool
Choosing fairly by hand is hard — people suspect bias in favourites. The picker selects a random entry with equal probability for every item, so draws and decisions are transparent and fair.
When to use it: fair draws from any list of options.
Frequently asked questions
Can I pick more than one?
Yes — set “number to pick” to draw several items. With “no repeats” on, each option can only be drawn once (as long as the list has enough entries).
Is the result truly random?
Each pick uses your browser’s uniform random generator, giving every item an equal chance each time.
What is it good for?
Choosing a winner, deciding who goes first, picking a random student or teammate, or settling “what’s for dinner” fairly.
Can I shuffle a list with it?
Yes — pick all items one by one with repeats off, and the draw order is a fair shuffle of your list.
How large can the list be?
Hundreds of lines are fine — one option per line is all it needs.
Is it fair for a public giveaway?
Every entry has an equal chance on each draw. For trust, run the pick live on screen so everyone sees it happen.
