Frequently Asked Questions
Can the same name be picked twice?
By default, no — each pick within a single draw is a different name. Turn on "Allow duplicate picks" if you want the same name to be eligible more than once in one draw.
How does "Remove picked names from the list" work?
When it's on, every name you pick is automatically removed from the list afterward, so your next pick only draws from the names that are left — handy for drawing multiple winners one at a time without repeats.
Are my past results saved?
Recent results are listed at the bottom of the screen for this browser tab, up to 20 entries. They disappear when you close or refresh the tab, so copy anything important. Click a past result to view it again.
Is the entered list of names stored or sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser only — the names you type are never sent to a server or saved anywhere outside this tab.
