Questions
How does the random name picker work?
Paste up to 200 names, choose how many to pick (up to 50 at once) and draw. Names are picked in your browser with its secure random number generator; nothing is sent to us or saved.
What does "No repeats across draws" do?
Someone picked once stays out of later draws, so you can draw a raffle prize at a time and never pick the same person twice. Start over to put every name back.
Can one person have more than one entry?
No, each name counts once, so a repeated name is dropped. To weight entries, add them with a number, like "Sam 1" and "Sam 2".
Can I draw from my RSVP list?
Yes, with Party Games on an RSVPlinks event ($6 or 1 credit, free events included): draw door prizes from guests who checked in, one win per party, prizes in order on the big screen, with every draw logged.
