About
A fair way to pick Instagram giveaway winners
Picking winners by hand is slow and can look unfair. This picker shuffles the list with your browser's secure random generator, so every valid entry has the same chance. It works with any list, such as comments, form answers or messages, and it doesn't connect to Instagram, so you decide who counts as an entry.
Remove duplicates
Keep Remove duplicates on if each person may enter only once, even if they commented several times.
Pick alternates
Add one or two alternates in case a winner doesn't reply within the time you set.
