Raffle Picker
The raffle picker draws raffle and giveaway winners from a list of names or ticket numbers, one prize at a time, and removes each winner from the wheel so nobody can win twice.
Replace the sample tickets with your entries: names, ticket numbers, or both. Paste them one per line, or separated by commas. If someone bought five tickets, put their name in five times, or tap their name once and raise its chance, whichever matches how your raffle works.
Remove-after-spin starts on, so each winner leaves the wheel as soon as they are drawn. Spin once per prize, starting with whichever prize you announced would be drawn first. The winner is chosen with your browser's Web Crypto API before the wheel moves, so the spin is only the reveal.
A raffle draw is only as fair as people believe it is. Three habits help. Finish the entry list before the draw and do not change it once the wheel is on screen. Draw where people can see it: on a screen at the event, or shared on a call. And record the screen while you spin, so anyone who asks afterwards can watch the draw for themselves. The guide on how to pick a raffle winner fairly goes through each step.
For thousands of entries, or a CSV file of entries exported from a form, the bulk name picker draws several winners at once and lets you download them. For giveaways run in social media comments, paste the comments into the Instagram or YouTube comment picker.
How to draw a raffle winner online
- Enter every ticket - Paste names or ticket numbers, one per line. Add a name more than once for people with several tickets.
- Freeze the list - Check the list is complete before the draw starts, and do not change it once the wheel is on screen.
- Draw in public - Spin where everyone can see, on a screen or a shared call, and record the screen if you can.
- Spin once per prize - Remove-after-spin is on, so each winner leaves the wheel and cannot win a second prize.
Raffle Picker - questions
How do I give someone more than one ticket?
Add their name once for each ticket, or tap their name and raise its chance. Either way, a person with five tickets is five times as likely to be drawn as a person with one.
Can one person win two prizes?
Not while remove-after-spin is on, and it starts on here. Each winner leaves the wheel as soon as they are drawn. If your raffle allows more than one prize per person, turn it off.
How do I prove the draw was fair?
Finish the entry list before the draw, spin where everyone can see, and record the screen. The winner is drawn with crypto.getRandomValues() before the wheel moves, so nobody can steer the result by stopping the wheel.
What if I have thousands of entries?
Use the bulk name picker. It takes a long pasted list or a CSV file, draws several winners at once, and lets you download them.
Is an online raffle draw legal?
That depends on where you are and what the raffle is for, since many places regulate raffles and prize draws. Check the rules that apply to you before you sell tickets. A fair, recorded draw helps, but it does not replace them.
