Questions
- Can I draw several winners?
- Yes, two ways. “Draw several winners at once” picks up to 20 different names in one click and ranks them — handy for prizes and runners-up. Or enable “Remove winner after each spin” and spin once per winner; winners are listed under the wheel until you restore them.
- Does the picker keep my names?
- Only in your own browser so the list is there next time. Names are never uploaded.
- Can I add the same name twice?
- Yes — each line is its own slice, so duplicates get extra chances. Remove duplicates if you want strict fairness.
