Random Name Picker

Write a list of names, choose how many winners you want, and draw instantly — great for classrooms, group activities, simple giveaways among friends, or assigning turns.

Local processing: your data is processed in your browser and never sent to Numelto or any external service.

Everything happens in your browser — Numelto never stores your list or the result.

How to use the random name picker

Type each name on its own line, set how many winners you need, and click "Draw". If you check "avoid duplicate names", repeated names in the list count as one before drawing.

Use cases

A few common examples:

  • Pick who presents first in class or a meeting.
  • Draw a gift or a task among a group of friends.
  • Fairly assign turns or responsibilities.
  • Team activities, games, and group exercises.

How is the winner chosen?

With the same cryptographically secure browser randomness source a password generator uses (crypto.getRandomValues) — never a predictable algorithm, and never biased toward any name.

Privacy

Your names list and the result never leave your browser: they're not sent to Numelto, not logged, and not stored anywhere.
