How to Use the Name Lottery Picker
Enter participant names — one per line or comma-separated — specify how many winners you want, and click Draw. The tool uses a fair Fisher-Yates shuffle to randomly select winners with equal probability. Great for giveaways, classroom picks, event raffles, and team assignments.
Fair Draw Algorithm
The Fisher-Yates shuffle guarantees that every participant has an equal probability of being chosen. Duplicate names are automatically removed before drawing. Each click produces a completely independent random result.
