How does the random picker ensure fairness?

Unlike basic tools that use standard Math.random(), our tool utilizes the browser's native window.crypto API to ensure cryptographically secure, unbiased, and mathematically fair random selections.

Can it remove the winner so they aren't picked twice?

Yes! Simply check the 'Remove picked item from list' option before drawing. Once a winner is chosen, it is automatically deleted from the input box so it cannot be drawn again in subsequent rounds.

Is my list data stored on a server?

No. The entire process runs locally in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your list is completely private and is never uploaded or saved to any external database.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this picker truly random and fair?

Yes. While basic web tools use standard Math.random() (which can exhibit slight biases), our generator uses the browser's window.crypto.getRandomValues() API. This provides a cryptographically secure, unpredictable, and mathematically fair random selection.

Is there a limit to how many items I can input?

Practically, no. The tool is designed to handle lists with tens of thousands of lines instantly. Because the processing is done locally on your device, it will not lag or time out over server requests.

Is my list data kept private?

100% private. The shuffling and drawing logic is executed entirely via client-side JavaScript locally in your browser. Your list is never saved, logged, or transmitted to any external servers.
