Run a fair random draw that people will accept

The job

You need to pick N winners from a list and have the result accepted as fair. The picker uses crypto.getRandomValues — the same random source browsers use for security — so the draw itself is genuinely unbiased. The rest is process.

Clean the list first

Paste the entries one per line. Before drawing, check for duplicates: if one person entered twice they get two chances. Run the list through Remove duplicate lines if needed. Blank lines and surrounding spaces are removed automatically.

Worked example

87 entrants, 3 prizes, no repeats allowed: paste the list, set count to 3, leave the repeat option off, and run. The result lists three names picked without replacement — no one can win twice. With repeats on, every draw is independent and the same name can appear twice.

• For a verifiable draw, screen-share the page while picking, or paste the participant list publicly before drawing.
• Up to 2,000 entries per draw.

Limits

This draws names, it does not store them — refresh and the list is gone. There is no seed: you cannot reproduce a draw later to prove it. For draws that must be auditable later, save the input list and the output somewhere public.
