Type or paste your items below, one per line. For weighted picking, use "Item Name,Weight" (e.g., "Apple,10").
AI insights on fairness and randomness will appear here.
Start by typing or pasting your list of items into the "List of Items" text area. You can put each item on a new line or separate them with commas. The tool will automatically parse them.
Decide how many random items you want to select. Use the "Number of Picks" input to specify if you need one, two, or multiple items from your list.
If you need unique selections (e.g., drawing winners without repeats), check the "Remove Item After Pick" box. This ensures an item is removed from the list once it's chosen for the current picking session.
For advanced control, check "Enable Weighted Picking." Then, enter your items as "Item Name,Weight" (e.g., "Gold,100" or "Silver,50") to give certain items a higher chance of being selected.
