Is the draw genuinely random?

Yes. It uses the browser's cryptographic generator (crypto.getRandomValues) with a Fisher-Yates shuffle, with no bias toward any position in the list.

Can I pick several winners at once?

Yes. Set the number of winners and they will be drawn from the list without repetition, like a raffle with several prizes.

A genuinely random draw

The list of participants is shuffled with the Fisher-Yates algorithm fed by crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographic random-number generator. It is the same kind of randomness used in computer security, with no bias or predictable patterns.

It is handy for Instagram giveaways among comments (paste the names), office raffles, choosing who goes first in a game or sharing out tasks. The names are not sent to any server: if you reload the page, they disappear.
