Running a raffle with a prize? Announce how the winner will be picked before you sell the first number, and check your state’s raffle rules. Many organizers tie the result to a public drawing like their state’s Pick 3 or Pick 4. See the three ways to draw

When this raffle number picker is the right tool

  • Picking a winner among the comments of a giveaway post, once you’ve numbered the entries.
  • A live drawing at your gala, game night or church event, on the big screen.
  • Door prizes at the team banquet or a class prize, where everyone agreed on the method.
  • Choosing turns, teams or the order of presentations.

How to make sure nobody doubts the result

  1. Announce the method first. Say from day one how the winner will be picked. Changing it two days before the draw looks bad, even if you mean well.
  2. Record the draw. A short screen recording showing the range and the result is worth a thousand explanations.
  3. Post the draw record. Copy it and paste it in the group with the date and time. It’s in writing, with witnesses.

Draw only among the numbers you sold

This is the detail most people miss. If your board has 100 numbers and you sold 43, drawing from 00 to 99 means there’s a 57% chance the winner is a number nobody bought. You’d have to redraw, and that’s when the complaints start. Use “Only the numbers I sold”, paste your list, and the winner always comes from there.

FAQ

About the draw

Is this random number generator really random?+
Yes. It uses your browser’s cryptographic random generator (crypto.getRandomValues), the same kind used to create passwords and keys, not the ordinary Math.random function. Nobody, including us, can predict or influence the result.
Can I draw only among the numbers I sold?+
Yes. Switch to “Only the numbers I sold” and paste your list, separated by commas or spaces. The winner will always be a number someone actually bought.
Can I use it to pick the winner of my raffle?+
You can, as long as you announced this method before selling and it’s allowed for your raffle. Many organizers prefer a public drawing such as their state’s Pick 3 or Pick 4, because anyone can check it. Either way, record your screen while you draw and share the draw record.
What is the draw record for?+
It’s your proof. It lists the date and time, how many numbers took part, the range or list used and the result. Copy it and post it in your group chat with the video of the draw, so everyone can see the result wasn’t changed afterwards.
Can it pick more than one winner?+
Yes, up to five. Winners are drawn in order without repeating a number, so you can use the order for first, second and third prize.
