Frequently asked questions
Is the draw actually random?
Yes. The picker uses crypto.getRandomValues for unbiased selection.
Can the same person win twice?
Toggle "allow duplicates" if that is fine. By default each winner is removed from the pool.
What does bonus weight do?
Bonus weight increases the relative chance of that participant being drawn — useful for rewarding extra effort.
