What is the Random Picker & Raffle Tool?
The Random Picker & Raffle Tool is a utility designed to conduct a fair and engaging prize draw. Users can paste a list of participants, and the tool will randomly select a winner with a fun, animated reveal. It also keeps a history of winners to prevent them from being drawn again in the same session.
History of this Feature
Raffles and giveaways have traditionally been conducted by drawing names from a hat or box. In the digital age, this process moved online, but many tools were either overly simple or part of larger, more complex applications. Our tool was created to replicate the excitement of a live drawing with a fun animation and a clear winner display. The addition of winner history and the ability to reset makes it a complete, self-contained solution for any online giveaway.
Who Commonly Uses This Feature?
This tool is very popular with streamers, social media influencers, and community managers who run giveaways for their audience. It's also used by teachers for picking students, event organizers for prize draws, and anyone who needs a fun and provably random way to select an item from a list.
