🎯 Random Name Picker
Paste your list — one name per line — and let the picker do the drumroll. It's the fastest way to draw from a long list where a wheel would get crowded; teachers use it for whole-year groups, streamers for hundred-entry giveaways. Winners can be removed automatically for multi-prize draws.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the spinning wheel?
Same fairness, different theatre. The wheel is unbeatable for a visual draw with up to a few dozen entries; the name picker handles hundreds of pasted names without the slices becoming slivers. For big lists, paste here.
Can I pick more than one winner?
Yes — enable 'remove after pick' and draw repeatedly. Each winner is taken out of the pool and listed below, so second and third prizes can't go to the same person twice.
Is my list of names uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole tool runs inside your browser — names are never sent to a server, and closing the tab clears them. That makes it safe for class lists and customer draws alike.
