Frequently asked questions
Is the selection truly random?
Yes. The tool uses JavaScript's random number generator to select uniformly from the list. Each entry has an equal probability of being picked.
Can I pick multiple winners at once?
Some tools support this. If not, pick one at a time, remove the winner from the list, and repeat for each prize.
