Before you draw

Check eligibility and duplicate names, agree on whether repeats or redraws are allowed, then generate and save the result before changing the list. Number Draw keeps its remaining pool only during the current page session.

Random selection FAQ

How is Number Draw different from Random Number Generator?

Number Draw keeps previously drawn numbers out of the current pool across rounds. Reset starts that pool again. Random Number Generator creates a fresh batch each time, so its no-duplicates setting applies within one generation.

Do duplicate names count as separate entries?

Grouping and list shuffling preserve each nonblank line, including matching names. Name Draw merges identical trimmed entries. Add a participant number to distinguish people who share a name.

Are names saved by the tools?

The tools process names and draw state in browser memory rather than saving participant lists. Copy or download the result before leaving or reloading the page. The website privacy policy separately describes analytics and advertising services.
