List randomizer
Paste a list of names or ideas, one per line. Shuffle it, draw winners without repeats, or split it into even groups.
Puts every entry in a new random order.
Results grow here after you press the button.
Shuffle, draw or split
Type or paste one entry per line, or tick Split on commas too for a comma-separated list. Blank lines are skipped and extra spaces trimmed. Remove duplicates drops repeated entries, ignoring capital letters, so someone who entered twice only counts once. Then choose what to do:
- Shuffle puts the whole list in a random order: turn order, speaking slots or a chore rota.
- Pick winners draws as many winners as you ask for, never the same entry twice, plus reserves in order in case a winner does not reply.
- Make groups shuffles everyone and deals them out like cards, so group sizes differ by one at most: 10 names in groups of 4 gives 4, 3 and 3.
Each result shows the time it was drawn, which helps when you share a giveaway draw. Shuffles use the Fisher–Yates method with crypto.getRandomValues, so every order and every set of winners is equally likely. Your list is never saved or sent anywhere.
Questions
How do I pick a giveaway winner from comments?
Paste the commenters' names, one per line, keep Remove duplicates ticked if each person gets one entry, choose Pick winners and press the button. A screenshot of the result with its time makes the draw easy to share.
Can the same person win twice?
Not in one draw: winners and reserves are always different lines. To give someone extra chances, untick Remove duplicates and list their name once per entry.
How long can the list be?
Up to 10,000 entries, which is far more than fits on screen at once; copy or download the result to keep it all.
