Questions
Is every name equally likely to be picked?
Yes. Each pick uses your device's secure random number generator, so no name is favoured, including names that appear first or last in the list.
What happens when the same name is in the list twice?
Each line counts as its own entry, so a name typed twice has two chances. Remove the extra line if you want it to count once.
How do I run several rounds without repeats?
Tick the box under the list. Winners are set aside after each pick until you press Start over or change the list.
Is my list saved or sent anywhere?
No. The names stay on this page and are gone when you close it.
