Random Name Picker

Paste or type a list of names — one per line. The picker uses Math.random() to pick one or more entries fairly. Use it for giveaways, classroom picks, chores, or any time you need a fair random selection.

Wheel mode renders your list as a spinning wheel of colors. Click Spin to launch it — the wheel spins for about 4 seconds and lands on a winner, just like a real prize wheel.

Yes. In pick mode set"Pick count" to any number up to the size of your list — winners are removed from the pool as they are drawn so nobody is picked twice.

By default the picker automatically removes duplicate entries (case-insensitive). Toggle"Remove duplicates" off if you want each line treated as a separate entry — useful when entries represent weighted probability.

The picker uses your browser's Math.random() function, which produces uniformly distributed random numbers. For most giveaways and classroom uses it is fair; for legally-mandated raffles, use a certified RNG.

Yes — the list in the textarea is saved to your browser's local storage so it's there next time you visit. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
