Frequently Asked Questions

How does the random name picker choose multiple winners without repetition?

It selects winners from the participant list without selecting the same name twice in a single draw. All winners returned are distinct.

What does the handle duplicates option do in a random name picker?

When enabled, repeated names are kept only once so each person has the same chance of being selected. When disabled, duplicates remain in the input list, but winners are still distinct within the draw.

How should names be formatted for the random name picker multiple winners tool?

Names can be entered one per line or separated with commas or semicolons. Empty lines are ignored when building the participant list.

What happens if the number of winners is larger than the number of participants?

A valid draw requires at least as many participants as winners after ignoring empty lines and applying duplicate handling. Reduce the winners count or add more names to the list.
