Random Number & Name Picker
About Random Number & Name Picker
Our free Random Number & Name Picker covers two common needs in one tool: generate random numbers within any range (with an optional no-duplicates mode), or paste in a list of names/items and randomly pick one or more winners - great for giveaways and raffles.
How to Use the Random Number & Name Picker
- Choose whether you want a random number or a random name/item pick.
- For numbers, enter your minimum and maximum range, and turn on no-duplicates mode if you're drawing several numbers that must all be different.
- For names, paste your list with one entry per line.
- Set how many winners you want selected at once.
- Click pick to instantly reveal the result, and run it again for another round.
Who uses this tool: Teachers and team leads use the name-picker side to fairly assign tasks or call on participants, giveaway hosts use the no-duplicates number mode to draw multiple unique raffle ticket winners in one pass, and researchers or statisticians use the plain number range for quick sampling without opening a spreadsheet. Sports leagues and tournament organizers use the number picker to draw fixture or seed numbers, and friends settling a casual bet or deciding who goes first in a game use it as a fast, neutral way to make the call without anyone feeling the outcome was rigged.

Frequently asked questions
Can I pick a random name from a list, not just a number?
Yes - this tool supports both modes: pick a random number within a range, or paste in a list of names/entries and pick one at random (handy for raffles and giveaways).
Is the selection fair and unbiased?
Yes - every entry has an equal chance of being picked, using your browser's random number generator.
Can I exclude previously picked entries to avoid repeats?
Depending on the mode you use, you can remove a name from the list after it's picked to avoid drawing it again in a multi-round giveaway.
