How the numbers are made

Every result comes from your browser's secure random source (the Web Crypto API), the one used for encryption keys. We turn its random bits into your range without favouring any number: values that would make the split uneven are thrown away and drawn again. Nothing is sent to us, so nobody else sees or can change your results. With Repeatable with a seed, the numbers come from the seed instead, so the same seed always gives the same numbers on any device.

Questions

Can a name be picked twice?

Not in one pick. For picking one at a time over several rounds, turn on Remove picked from the list.

What does Count as tickets do?

A name that appears on several lines gets that many chances. With Remove (the default), repeated names count once.

Can I use this to pick a prize winner?

Picks are made on your device with your browser's secure random source. FizzyTools doesn't run, record or certify draws. For prize draws, follow the rules where you live.

How are teams split?

The list is shuffled and dealt into teams one by one, so team sizes differ by at most one. Leaders go in first, one per team.

Where is my list kept?

Only in this tab, unless you turn on Remember this list on this device. It is never sent to us.
