Draw a lot when somebody has to be singled out fairly – a competition winner, whoever gets first pick, or anyone else chance should point to. Type in the names, press the button and let the draw settle it.
A genuinely fair draw
Every lot has exactly the same chance of being pulled. The randomness comes from the browser's cryptographic generator, which makes the draw flatter than writing slips by hand and pulling them from a bowl – where the size and folding of the paper really do affect the outcome.
If you want the draw to feel like an occasion, turn the screen towards everyone taking part while the animation counts down to the result.
Keep a record of the draw
Each draw is stored in the history with a timestamp, so you can show afterwards exactly what came out. That is useful in clubs and workplaces where a raffle has to be accounted for later on.
