Giveaway Picker

Paste in your entrants, press spin, and the giveaway picker draws a winner at random. Every name gets the same chance.

Your browser's secure random tool picks the winner before the wheel starts to move. You can show the draw on screen, and nobody can say it was fixed.

How the Giveaway Picker Works

  1. Collect your entrants. Put every name or username in a list, one per line.
  2. Check the list. Remove late entries and anyone who did not follow the rules. The Remove duplicates item in the entries menu (the three dots) clears repeated lines.
  3. Spin once. The wheel draws the winner.
  4. Announce it and keep a record. A screenshot or a screen recording of the draw works well.
  5. For more prizes, turn on elimination mode so each winner is removed, then spin again.

Giveaway Picker Instagram Guide: Paste Your Entrants

This tool draws from a list you give it. It does not read comments or check who followed whom. To run an Instagram giveaway:

  1. Copy the usernames of valid entrants into the list yourself, from comments, a spreadsheet or a form.
  2. Spin on a screen share, or record your screen and post the clip.
  3. Contact the winner and wait for a reply. Pick a runner up in case they do not answer.

Check Instagram's current promotion rules and the laws where you live before you run any giveaway. The rules differ by platform and country.

Giveaway Winner Picker: Make It Fair and Clear

A giveaway feels fair when people can see how it works. Do these things.

  • Publish the rules first. Say who can enter, how, the deadline, the prize and how the winner is chosen.
  • One entry per person, unless you say otherwise.
  • Draw live or record it. A visible draw builds trust.
  • Check eligibility before you announce, not after.
  • Pick a backup winner in case the first does not reply.

If you give extra chances for extra actions, add that person's name more than once and say so in the rules. The more times a name is on the list, the better its odds. Make that clear, or you will get arguments.

Odds for Entrants

With N entries and one prize, each person has a 1 in N chance. With 100 entrants, that is 1%. With 50, it is 2%.

For several prizes drawn one by one with no repeats, a person's chance of winning one is the number of prizes divided by N. With 5 prizes and 100 entrants, that is 5%.

We cannot give legal advice. Rules for giveaways, prize draws and raffles differ a lot by country, state and platform. Some places treat a draw where entrants pay as gambling. Check local law and the platform's rules before you start. The wheel is a fair way to pick. It is not legal clearance.
