Raffle Draw
Paste the entrants, draw winners and reserves, and keep the seed so anyone can re-run the same draw.
The list stays in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to the server or stored anywhere.
The draw is built from this. The same seed and the same list always give the same winners — announce it before you draw and everyone can check the result. It is used exactly as written, dashes and capitals included.

Good to know
- The same list, the same settings and the same seed always give the same winners. That is what makes a draw checkable: publish the seed before you draw and nobody has to take your word for it.
- A seed generated here is unpredictable — it comes from the browser's cryptographic randomness — and the draw itself is SHA-256 in counter mode, so the same result can be reproduced anywhere, in any language.
- A name pasted several times holds that many tickets and is that much likelier to come out; when it does, its other tickets leave with it. More tickets mean more chances at a prize, not a second prize.
- Reserves are drawn after the winners, in order, from whoever is left.
- Nothing is stored. Once the page is closed the only record is what you copied — which is why the seed is copied with it.
