Use the free Raffle Winner Picker below: your data never leaves your browser — all work happens on your device, and nothing is uploaded to any server.
Every fair draw needs one thing above all: every entry must have the same chance, and nobody should be able to argue with the result. The Raffle Winner Picker does that job in seconds. Paste the names, say how many winners you want, and press Draw winners. The tool shuffles the list with cryptographic randomness from your browser and picks the winners from the top of the shuffled list.
Cryptographic randomness is worth explaining in plain words. Most random features in software use a fast but predictable generator, which is fine for games but not ideal when fairness matters. This tool uses the browser’s built-in crypto generator, the same kind of randomness used for security tasks, so the draw cannot be steered by picking a lucky seed or re-running until a favourite name appears. Each draw is a fresh shuffle, and each name has an equal chance.
To use it, paste one name per line into the box. Blank lines are ignored, and duplicate names are removed automatically, so pasting the same list twice does not give anyone a double chance. Set the number of winners, then press Draw winners. The first winner appears large on the page, and the full winner list appears below, together with how many names were in the draw. Every draw is added to a history list, so a group can look back and confirm what happened.
That history matters more than it seems. In a classroom draw, a club giveaway, or a team Secret Santa pick, the argument is rarely about the tool — it is about trust. A visible history, plus a count of entries, lets everyone see that the draw happened once, in the open, with the list everyone agreed on. If a draw needs to be redone because a name was missing, clear the history, fix the list, and draw again.
The tool is built for fun and low-stakes draws: raffles among friends, classroom picks, giveaway winners, and party games. It is not a lottery system and it does not handle money, tickets, or legal prize draws, which have their own rules about records, witnesses, and regulations. For a serious prize draw with legal requirements, use a process designed for that purpose and keep proper records.
One practical tip: agree on the list before you press the button. Read the names out loud, confirm nobody is missing and nobody appears twice, and then draw. The tool removes exact duplicates, but it cannot tell that ‘Ana’ and ‘Ana Ruiz’ are the same person, so a quick check of the list is the one human step that still matters.

Frequently asked questions
Is the draw really random? Yes. It uses the browser’s cryptographic random generator, and every name has an equal chance.
What happens to duplicate names? Exact duplicates are removed, so nobody gets a double chance by accident.
Can I draw more than one winner? Yes. Set the number of winners, and the tool picks that many different names.
Can I use it for a legal prize draw? For casual draws, yes. For regulated prize draws, follow the rules that apply to your draw and keep proper records.
A good draw is quick, open, and hard to argue with. Paste the names, agree on the list, press the button, and let randomness do the rest — with a visible history to prove it happened fairly.
