A LITTLE GUIDANCE

Random Name Picker guide

Shuffle a participant list and choose the requested number of names.

How to use

  1. Enter one participant per line.
  2. Set a winner count no larger than the participant list.
  3. Run the draw, then review or copy the selected names.

Worked example

Input
Enter six distinct participant names and request two winners.
Result
Two different names are selected from the six. The actual selection may change each run.

Common questions

How do I handle people with the same name?

Give each person a distinct label, such as Alex 1 and Alex 2. Duplicate labels are rejected.

Are earlier winners excluded from the next draw?

No. Each draw starts with the current full list. A name appears at most once per draw but can appear in a later draw.
