Random Drawing Generator

Paste your entrants, choose how many winners you need and draw them in order. Each person can win only once per draw.

Press Draw winners to pick in order.

How the drawing works

Type or paste one entrant per line. The tool draws the first winner, removes that person from the pool, then draws the second winner from everyone who is left, and so on. Because the pool shrinks after each pick, nobody can take two places in the same draw.

Want to give someone extra chances? Add x3 after a name, for example Jamie Chen x3, and that person gets three tickets in the drawing. It works well for loyalty rewards or for people who earned bonus entries.

How to use this tool

  1. Paste your entrants into the box, one per line. You can also upload a .txt or .csv file.
  2. Set the number of winners. The first name drawn is first place.
  3. Press Draw winners.
  4. Copy the ranked list, or keep the history for your records.

Ways to use it

  • Prize draws at school events, clubs and workplaces.
  • Choosing the order of speakers or presenters.
  • Picking volunteers, reviewers or beta testers from a sign-up list.
  • Awarding first, second and third prize in a contest.

Is it fair and private?

Every result on SpinPicker is picked at random by your own browser, and every number or entry has exactly the same chance. Nothing is sent to a server, so nobody else can see or change your result.

Frequently asked questions

How do I give someone more tickets?

Add x and a number after the name, for example Sam Patel x5. That entrant is drawn with five tickets, but can still win only one place.

Can I upload a spreadsheet?

Export it as CSV or TXT first. Put names in the first column, one per row, and use the upload button.

How many entrants can I use?

Up to 5,000 lines in one draw.

Is the result final?

Each press of Draw winners makes a brand new draw. If you need a record, copy the result or use the history list before drawing again.
