About the Random Picker
This random picker selects one or more items at random from a list you provide. Enter your items one per line, specify how many to pick, and choose whether to allow repeats. Results are drawn using a Fisher-Yates shuffle for genuine randomness.
Common uses include picking a winner from a list of entrants, randomly assigning tasks or roles in a team, choosing what to have for dinner from a list of options, selecting random participants for a study, and any situation where you need a fair, unbiased selection from a set of choices.
Frequently asked questions
With or without replacement — what's the difference?
With replacement, each pick is independent and the same item can appear more than once. Without replacement, each pick removes the item from the pool, so all results are unique.
Is the selection actually unbiased?
Yes — each item has equal probability of being picked. Items earlier or later in the list are not favored. The pick uses a uniform random index over the available pool.
