Good for

  • Choosing giveaway or raffle winners
  • Picking a random sample from survey responses
  • Deciding who goes first

Fair by design

Picks use crypto.getRandomValues with rejection sampling, so every line has an equal chance. Nothing is sent to a server, so results can’t be influenced.

Questions about Pick Random Lines

More answers in the TextVix FAQ.

Can the same entry be picked twice?

No. Each line can be picked once per draw. With “Ignore repeated entries” on, a name listed twice still counts once.

Can I draw again?

Yes — press Pick at random again for a new draw.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your text and files are never sent to a server or stored.
