Frequently asked questions
Is the draw fair?
Yes. The list is shuffled with an unbiased Fisher-Yates shuffle that uses cryptographic randomness.

No. Each name can be picked once per draw. Duplicate lines count as separate entries.
Is my list saved?
No. It stays in your browser and is lost when you close the page.
