Enter your list and randomly pick one or more items - perfect for decisions and raffles.
We've all been there. You're standing in front of the fridge at 7 PM, everyone's hungry, and nobody can agree on what to order. Or maybe you're a teacher trying to pick a student for the next presentation without anyone accusing you of playing favorites. Sometimes the fairest thing you can do is let randomness decide.
This tool takes the pressure off. Type in your options, hit the button, and accept whatever comes up. No second-guessing, no endless debates. The random picker has spoken.
Weighting your options: Want pizza to have a better chance than salad? Just add "Pizza" to your list multiple times. Each entry counts as one ticket in the draw.
Running a raffle: For giveaways, turn off "Allow Duplicates" to ensure each person can only win once when picking multiple winners.
Quick templates: Don't feel like typing? Use our built-in templates to get started, then edit the list to match your needs.
Is this actually random or does it favor certain items?
Every item has exactly the same probability of being picked. We use JavaScript's Math.random() which gives each option equal odds. Run it a hundred times if you want - you'll see everything gets selected eventually.
Can people see my list?
No. Everything happens in your browser. Your list never leaves your device - we don't have servers storing what you type. Close the tab and it's gone.
What's the difference between "Allow Duplicates" on and off?
With duplicates off, once an item is picked, it's removed from future picks in that round. So if you're picking 3 winners from 10 people, you'll get 3 different names. With duplicates on, the same item could theoretically be picked every time.
Is there a limit to how many items I can add?
No hard limit. We've tested it with thousands of items and it still works fine. Your browser might slow down with extremely large lists, but for normal use (even hundreds of items), you won't notice any issues.
Can I save my list for later?
Not directly in the tool, but here's a workaround: select all your items, copy them, and paste into a note or document. Next time, just paste them back in.
