- DrawClick Generate, Pick, Roll or Flip, then copy the result.

How it works
Random Name Picker is a web page that does its work on your own device. Everything you type or choose is worked out by your browser and never sent to a server, so nothing is stored and there is nothing to delete. There is no account, no sign-up and no limit on how often you use it.
Running a fair giveaway
Export the entrants from your form or comments, remove duplicates with Sort Lines, paste the list here and pick. Screenshot the result with the date for your records.
Questions
Can the same name be picked twice?
Not in one pick: picking three gives three different names. A new click is a fresh draw.
