Pick one name or item at random.

Enter names or choices one per line and pick exactly one at random. It is a good fit for choosing today’s presenter, facilitator, helper or one option from a short list.
Entering the same name twice gives that name two entries in the draw. Use the no-repeat name picker when you want everyone to appear once before anyone can be selected again.
Use it when the current question is simply “which one?” Multiple-winner selection and turn-by-turn rotation are better handled by the dedicated random tools.
Copied lists often contain extra line breaks or surrounding spaces. Those are cleaned before the draw so they do not become separate empty choices.
Two identical lines are two entries. That can be intentional weighting, but accidental duplicates should be removed when every person is meant to have one chance.
Running another draw can return the same name again. Use the no-repeat tool for classroom turns, meeting rotations or other situations where repetition should wait.
Another run can produce a different choice. Save or share the selected name when the draw is being used for an actual event or assignment.
