Frequently Asked Questions

How does the random picking work?

The picker uses cryptographically secure random number generation to ensure truly fair selection. Each item in your list has an equal probability of being picked, guaranteeing unbiased results.

What's the difference between "Allow Duplicates" and "Remove After Pick"?

"Allow Duplicates" lets the same item be picked multiple times in one generation. "Remove After Pick" permanently removes the picked item from your list, preventing it from being picked again until you add it back.

What happens if I pick more items than I have in my list?

If you have duplicates disabled, the tool will pick all available items and stop. If duplicates are allowed, it will continue picking items randomly, potentially repeating some.

Can I use this for serious raffles?

Yes! The random number generation is cryptographically secure and provides fair, unbiased results. However, for official contests with legal requirements, you may need to use certified random number generation systems.
