How to pick at random
Number the options, choose how many picks and draw.
1
Number the options
Write the list as 1 to N and keep it visible to everyone.
2
Choose the pick count
Picks are drawn without replacement, so no option repeats.
3
Change the seed
Use a new seed for a fresh draw, or keep it to replay the same one.
What does this tool do?
Number your options, set how many picks you need and let a seeded draw choose without repeats. The same seed always returns the same picks, which makes the result easy to verify.
The Formula
Options are shuffled with a seeded Fisher–Yates draw; the first N distinct numbers are returnedFrequently Asked Questions
Can the same option be picked twice?
No. Each draw removes the option from the pool, so multiple picks are always distinct.
What does the seed do?
It fixes the draw so the same inputs always return the same options. Change the seed to pick again without relying on the clock.
