Frequently Asked Questions
Is the draw truly fair?
Yes! We use cryptographically secure randomness (crypto.getRandomValues()). Every name has mathematically equal probability. This is even fairer than a physical draw.
How many names can I add?
There is no technical limit. Add hundreds or even thousands of names. Performance is unaffected because everything runs in your browser.
What does elimination mode do?
When enabled, selected names are automatically removed from the list for the next pick. Use it for ranking (1st, 2nd, 3rd...) or sequential draws. Use Reset to restore all names anytime.
Can I pick multiple winners?
Yes! Enable "Multi-Select" and choose how many people to pick. Selected names appear in order. Ideal for primary and backup winners.
Are names saved on the server?
No. Your name list is stored only in browser memory and the selection algorithm runs client-side. The list disappears when you refresh or close the page.
Can I paste names from Excel?
Yes! Paste names copied from Excel, Google Sheets, or any text editor. One name per line is recognized automatically.
Can I prove the draw result?
Selection history is shown on screen in order. For live draws, we recommend screen recording or having participants watch. Alternatively, use WheelSpinGo to put names on a wheel and spin it visually.
