Giveaway Winner Picker

Pick giveaway winners fairly and transparently

Running a giveaway is a great way to thank your audience, grow a community or launch a product — but choosing the winner has to be fair and look fair. The Giveaway Winner Picker draws one or many random winners from a list of entries with a rolling animation that builds suspense and makes a great clip for your announcement post.

How to pick a giveaway winner

1. Collect entries — usernames, names, emails or order numbers — and paste them one per line.
2. Keep Remove duplicate entries ticked if each person should only count once.
3. Set the number of Winners and optional Backup winners.
4. Press Draw. Winners appear one by one, followed by backups.
5. Click Copy winners to paste the results into your announcement.

Why draw backup winners?

Winners do not always reply. Drawing backups at the same time, from the same live draw, means you can move to the next person quickly without running a second draw — and your audience can see the backups were chosen fairly too.

Best practices for a trustworthy giveaway

• Publish the rules first: how to enter, deadline, eligibility and how winners are chosen.
• Screen-record the draw and share the clip with your announcement.
• Remove duplicates unless extra entries were part of the rules.
• Exclude ineligible entries such as staff or your own accounts before drawing.
• Follow platform rules — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook each have promotion guidelines — and local laws on contests and sweepstakes.

Picking from social media comments?

If your entries are comments, use the Random Comment Picker. It understands “username: comment” lines, can require a keyword or hashtag, a minimum number of tagged friends, and gives one entry per user. For a classic spinning draw, try the Raffle Wheel or the Prize Wheel.
