Online Raffle Generator — Pick Winners Fairly & Transparently
Generate random raffle winners in seconds. Get verified results your participants can trust.
What is a raffle generator?
A raffle generator is a tool that randomly selects winners from a pool of entries. Instead of pulling names from a hat or numbering slips of paper, a digital raffle generator picks winners instantly — and can handle anything from a dozen entries to tens of thousands.
Most people need a raffle generator for the same reason: they want a quick, fair result that nobody can argue with. Fundraisers, employee giveaways, school events, church draws, social media promotions — the use case doesn’t matter much. What matters is that the selection is genuinely random and that you can show your participants it was.
That’s the part where simple “spin the wheel” tools tend to fall short.
How RandomPicker’s raffle generator works
1. Enter your entries
Paste a list of names, email addresses, or ticket numbers directly into the editor. You can also import from a spreadsheet or collect entries through a built-in registration form.
2. Set your rules
Choose how many winners to pick. If you need it, set weighted chances (so participants with more tickets get proportionally better odds) or let winners pick their preferred prize.
3. Run the draw
One click and RandomPicker selects your winners using cryptographically secure randomization. Every entry has a mathematically equal chance — unless you’ve set weights intentionally.
4. Share verified results
Every drawing generates a permanent public record page with a unique URL. It shows the winner, entry count, timestamp, and drawing method. Share the link and let anyone verify the results. Once the draw is final, the record locks — nobody can change it, not even you.
Why choose RandomPicker?
There are plenty of free tools that pick a random name from a list. RandomPicker does that too — but it also solves the problem those tools ignore: proving the result was fair.
