About this tool
Paste any list of items (one per line or comma-separated) and pick a random subset. Weight individual items with the :N syntax — add :3 after an item to give it 3× the probability of being picked (e.g. Alice:3). Enable shuffle mode to randomize the entire list in order instead of picking a subset. Toggle allow-duplicates to permit the same item to be picked more than once. Filter items containing a keyword before picking.
Common uses
- Running giveaways and raffles with weighted entries
- Picking a random winner from a list of names
- Choosing a random restaurant, movie, or activity
- Randomizing a playlist or reading list order
- Teacher picking random students to answer questions
