Random Name Picker

1. Paste your names into the text area, one name per line.
2. Set how many winners you need and enable duplicate removal if your list may repeat names.
3. Press Pick a name. Winners are sampled without replacement.
4. Optionally enable remove winners so the next draw excludes previous winners.
5. Copy the result, or press Pick again for a fresh draw from the same list.

The picker reads your list, optionally removes duplicates and then samples distinct line indices with crypto.getRandomValues(). Because sampling is without replacement, picking three winners means three different entries every time. The result is derived only from the list you provide and secure randomness — not from list order or timing.

Your list is treated as plain text. Text that looks like HTML or script code is displayed literally and can never execute, and no entry is ever sent to a server. Pick history is kept in your browser’s local storage so you can audit previous draws, and it can be cleared at any time.

• Classroom question: paste 30 student names, pick 1 winner → one name, no repeats in the same draw.
• Prize draw: pick 5 winners at once, then enable remove winners and continue round by round.
• Meeting host: paste teammates and pick again until everyone has hosted once.
• Random pair: pick 2 winners to form a duo for a game or exercise.

• Fair turn-taking and question selection in classrooms.
• Giveaways, raffles and streams that need a transparent draw from a visible list.
• Choosing hosts, presenters or reviewers from a team roster.
• Picking test users, samples or pairs for workshops and studies.
