Pick a random name. Prove it was fair.

Giveaways, raffles, chore assignments, team captains: any time a name has to come out of a hat, this is the hat. Paste your list, spin the wheel, and get a winner with a proof attached.

Most random pickers ask you to trust them. Draw Straws records the exact random bytes behind every saved draw so the result can be replayed and checked by anyone you share it with. That matters when something real is on the line.

Questions

How random is it really?

Picks use crypto.getRandomValues, the cryptographic randomness in your browser, with rejection sampling so every name has exactly the same chance. No modulo bias, no server tricks.

Can I save my lists?

Yes. A free account adds saved groups and draw history; the picker itself never requires one.

Is it fair for giveaways?

Yes, and you can publish the result link so entrants verify the draw themselves. That is more than most giveaway tools offer.
