Random Comment Picker
Paste your giveaway entries, pick a winner everyone can trust — cryptographically fair, and your list never leaves your device.
Your files never leave your device.
How to run a fair giveaway draw
- Paste your entries — one per line: usernames, emails, or the comments themselves (copy the comment column straight from your export).
- Set the rules: duplicate filtering on (one entry per person) or off (one per comment), and how many winners you need.
- Pick. The reel cycles through entries at speed and slows onto the winner — screen-share it for full transparency. Each winner is removed from the pool automatically, so multi-prize raffles just work.
Why trust a picker that runs in your browser?
Giveaways live and die on trust. A server-side picker is a black box — the operator could rerun the draw until a friend wins, and nobody would ever know. This picker has no server: the randomness comes from your browser's cryptographically secure generator (crypto.getRandomValues), the same source that protects passwords and banking sessions. The draw is decided by math anyone can audit, in a tab anyone can watch. Show it live on stream and the fairness is self-evident.
Tips for smooth giveaways
- Publish the rules first — entry deadline, eligibility, how winners are contacted.
- Export comments to a file (spreadsheet or text), then paste the column here — manual copy-paste of hundreds of comments is error-prone.
- Keep duplicate filtering on unless your rules allow multiple entries per person.
- Draw a backup winner. If the first winner doesn't respond, you've already got the next in line — set 2–3 winners and work down the list.
- Record or stream the draw. A two-minute video of the reel spin kills every "rigged!" comment before it starts.
Frequently asked questions
Is the pick really random and fair?
Yes. Winners are chosen with crypto.getRandomValues — the browser's cryptographically secure random generator, the same source used for encryption keys. There's no server that could rig or log the draw; the code runs in your browser.
Is my list of comments uploaded?
No. Everything stays in your browser's memory. Nothing is sent to a server, logged or stored — safe for private giveaway lists.
How do I pick multiple winners?
Set the number of winners before picking. Each winner is drawn one at a time and removed from the pool, so nobody can win twice.
What about duplicate entries?
Duplicate filtering is on by default — if the same name appears multiple times in your paste, it counts once. Turn it off if multiple entries per person are allowed (e.g. one entry per comment).
Is there a limit on entries?
No artificial limit — thousands of entries work fine. The only ceiling is your device's memory.
