Fair and Fun Random Selections
The Random Name Picker is a digital "hat" from which you can draw a name. It provides a transparent and unbiased way to select a winner from a list, making it an essential tool for contests, giveaways, classroom activities, and more.
How to Use the Picker
- Enter the Names: Type or paste a list of names into the text area. Make sure each name is on a new line.
- Pick a Winner: Click the "Pick a Winner" button to start the selection process.
- The Suspenseful Reveal: The tool will rapidly cycle through the names in the list, creating a fun, suspenseful animation before finally landing on one random winner.
- Track Recent Winners: The "Recent Winners" list keeps a log of the last few names that were chosen, so you have a record of previous results.
Ideal for Many Situations
Whether you're a teacher choosing a student for a presentation, a manager running a team giveaway, or just deciding who gets the last slice of pizza, this tool ensures the choice is always fair and random.
