Random Element Picker

Picks one or more random items from a pasted list, drawing without replacement — once an item is picked, it's removed from the pool, exactly like drawing names out of a hat.

Paste your list with one item per line — names, raffle tickets, tasks, prizes — set how many winners or picks you need, and draw; copy the results with one click.

Pasting a list of `Alice`, `Bob`, `Carla`, `David`, `Elena` and drawing 2 winners might return `Carla` and `Alice`: each is removed from the pool once chosen, so the same name can never appear twice in a single draw.

Drawing without replacement means every remaining item has an equal chance each round, but no single item can win more than once in the same draw — this matches how a real raffle or giveaway works, unlike simply generating random numbers, which could otherwise land on the same person repeatedly.

This is useful for raffle and giveaway winners, randomly assigning people to teams or tasks, choosing a presentation order, drawing conference badges, and any situation calling for a fair, unbiased selection from a known list of candidates.

This draws from the exact list you paste and does not weight entries (so you can't give one name multiple chances by listing it twice without it being treated as two separate, equally-weighted entries), and it does not verify duplicate names refer to different real people.

The entire process runs locally in your browser; your list is never uploaded to a server or stored.
