Frequently Asked Questions

Is the selection truly random?

Yes. The tool uses a well-known algorithm (Fisher-Yates shuffle) to randomize the list before picking a winner. For all practical purposes like contests and giveaways, the result is truly random.

Can the same name be picked more than once?

No. When you select multiple winners, our tool ensures that each winner is unique and a name cannot be selected more than once in a single draw.

Is there a limit to the number of names I can enter?

While there is no strict limit, performance may vary depending on your browser for extremely large lists (tens of thousands of names). For most common uses, it works instantly.

Do you save my list of names?

Absolutely not. The tool operates entirely on your device (client-side). Your data is never sent to, or stored on, our servers. Refreshing the page will clear the list completely.
