Random Name Picker
Pick a random name from your list with spin animation
Truly fair? Well, as fair as a deterministic algorithm seeded by electrical noise can be. Everyone has exactly the same statistical chance of winning – which is more than can be said for most office raffles run by that one guy who "shuffles really well."
