Inputs & draw rules

No file selected.

Plain text only, one entry per line. Up to 512 KiB /200,000 characters. Failed imports keep previous working text.

Enter values or load the example. No draw happens automatically.

Draw behavior & limits

Up to 10,000 eligible tickets, draw1–1000 without replacement within a batch. No-repeat mode carries remaining ticket IDs between draws; changing only draw count preserves that pool. Source text, duplicate/trim/exclusion policy or no-repeat changes reset it. Identical labels kept as separate tickets can appear again. No publicly verifiable drawing or persisted history.

Secure randomness reuses the existing Security sampler, with no Math.random fallback. Processing limit10seconds. Results are local, not an audited or verifiable public lottery. Source/settings edits invalidate outputs; exporting never redraws.

    A FEW SIMPLE STEPS

    How to use Random Name Picker

    1. Enter choices or load the example. List-based tools can import a local UTF-8 text file; review filename/size/status and duplicate/exclusion rules.
    2. Choose draw, grouping or card settings. No-repeat tools show the current remaining ticket pool and offer explicit restoration.
    3. Generate locally and inspect the actual result. The wheel selects once before animation; Reveal now does not redraw.
    4. Copy/download the saved result or reports. Bingo prints/downloads the existing cards. Clear or workflow switching releases local draw state.
    PRIVATE BY DESIGN

    Why use this tool?

    Your lists, participant names, choices and generated results remain in your browser. Self-hosted code uses cryptographic random values and unbiased sampling without uploads, accounts or application input history.

    A few things worth knowing

    What rules and limits are used?

    Up to 10,000 eligible tickets, draw1–1000 without replacement within a batch. No-repeat mode carries remaining ticket IDs between draws; changing only draw count preserves that pool. Source text, duplicate/trim/exclusion policy or no-repeat changes reset it. Identical labels kept as separate tickets can appear again. No publicly verifiable drawing or persisted history.

    Is this a publicly verifiable lottery?

    No. This is a private browser utility using cryptographic random values with unbiased sampling. Someone controlling their own browser can change inputs or repeat draws. It does not certify an audited lottery or prove fairness to outside observers.

    What happens with repeated labels and repeat draws?

    List-based tools make exact duplicate handling explicit. Separate duplicate tickets can display the same label. Name Picker and Wheel optionally remember ticket IDs until the pool is restored or source/policy/exclusions change. Ordinary generated batches in other tools are independent. No input history persists after page exit.

    Are imports or results uploaded?

    No. Optional UTF-8 text imports are read locally with filename, size and loading/ready/error status. Manual replacement, samples and Clear remove obsolete selections, and failed imports keep previous working text. Copy/download happens only when chosen; those external copies remain outside app cleanup.
