Frequently Asked Questions

How do weights work?

Items with higher weights are more likely to be chosen. For example, Carol,2 has twice the chance of Bob (weight 1).

What does No Repeat do?

No Repeat removes selected items from the pool so they won’t appear again until you re-add/reset the list.

Can I import from CSV?

Yes. Paste a CSV column or lines like name,weight. The first value is the label, the second is optional weight.

Is this suitable for raffles?

Yes. This tool is ideal for simple raffles, giveaways, classroom picks, and meeting rotations. For regulated drawings, follow the applicable rules in your jurisdiction.
