A random name picker that rolls like a slot machine.
Paste your list, press the button and watch the names roll until one lands. It is free, needs no sign-up, and works for a random draw, a lucky draw or a turn order. One link puts it on your stream.
Who's up next?
Or press Space, or click the names.
Copy the stream link and add it to OBS, Streamlabs or Meld as a browser source at 1920 by 1080. It carries your settings and shows only the tool, on a transparent background. To draw live, right-click the source in OBS and pick Interact, then click the names or press Space.
How to use it
Paste your names
One name per line: viewers, players, teams or prizes. Sort the list or remove repeats with one button.
Roll the names
Press Pick a name, click the reel or hit Space. The names roll, slow down and stop on the pick. Choose how many names a draw takes, from 1 up to 50.
Show it on stream
Copy the stream link and add it to OBS as a browser source. It shows the title and the reel on a transparent background, with your names already in it.
Questions
How do I get a random name from a list?
Paste the names here, one per line, and press Pick a name. It works as a random name generator from a list: the reel rolls through your names and stops on one, chosen with your browser's secure random numbers.
Is the random name picker fair?
Yes. Every name has the same chance. The pick is made with crypto randomness before the reel starts, and the roll then stops on that name. If a name is on the list twice, it has two chances.
Can I pick more than one name at a time?
Yes. Set Names per draw to the number you need, up to 50. One draw never picks the same line twice, and the picks appear as numbered chips under the reel.
How do I stop the same name being picked again?
Turn on No repeats. Picked names leave the draw until you press Put everyone back, which is what you want for a lucky draw with several prizes or a turn order.
Can I use it for a lucky draw on stream?
Yes. Copy the stream link, add it to OBS, Streamlabs or Meld as a browser source at 1920 by 1080, and use Interact to draw live. For a giveaway from chat, the giveaway picker also filters keywords and bots.
Does it save my list?
Your names and settings stay in this browser, on this device. Nothing is uploaded, and the stream link carries the names itself.
