About this random name picker

Overview

Publisher, local-list privacy, and support for Fair Name Picker.

Purpose

Fair Name Picker helps teachers, meeting hosts, and facilitators choose names from a list without paper slips—paste, dedupe, and draw in the browser.

It randomizes among names you supply; it does not verify identity, eligibility, or contest compliance.

Fair Name Picker documents giveaway compliance, duplicate removal, and classroom call-outs using the same labels shown on the draw button.

List parsing, case sensitivity options, and winner history behavior are described in FAQ and methodology so hosts can answer auditor questions.

Intended uses and scope

Classroom participation and meeting speaking order.

Informal giveaways where hosts keep their own rules and records.

Not for regulated raffles, high-value prizes requiring auditors, or identity-proofed drawings.

Giveaways with written rules, cold-call participation, and party games—not government lotteries or paid sweepstakes compliance on their own.

Maintenance and product principles

Keep lists on-device unless the host copies them elsewhere.

Surface duplicate detection before draws to reduce accidental double weighting.

State contest limits plainly in giveaway-oriented guides.

Feedback and support

If picks, dedupe, or saved lists misbehave, note list size, elimination setting, and browser, then Contact with details.

Send a redacted screenshot of list settings and whether duplicates were stripped when asking about a surprising winner order.
