Social media giveaway picker

This social media giveaway picker takes any list of names, usernames or comments — one per line — and picks one or more winners at random, using a real, fair Fisher-Yates shuffle. It is the general version, not tied to any one platform: it does not fetch comments from anywhere (SkedCast has no such integration), so you paste the list yourself, from wherever you copied it, and the picking happens entirely in your browser.

How to use the giveaway picker

  1. Paste your list. Enter one name, username or comment per line into the text box.
  2. Choose how many winners. Set the number of winners you want picked from the list.
  3. Optionally remove duplicates. Turn on the dedupe option if the same entry appears more than once.
  4. Click pick. The tool shuffles the list and shows your winner or winners at random.

Worked examples

A 50-entry giveaway, 3 winners

Pasting 50 usernames and setting winner count to 3 shuffles the full list and shows 3 winners, drawn fairly from all 50 entries with no bias toward earlier or later lines.

Deduping before picking

If the same commenter appears twice in a pasted list of 200 comments, turning on dedupe collapses it to one entry before the draw, so no one gets two separate chances by accident.

Social media giveaway picker FAQ

Does this pull comments from Instagram, TikTok or another platform automatically?
No — SkedCast has no such integration. You paste in a list of names or comments yourself, from wherever you copied them.
Is the random pick actually fair?
Yes — it uses a real Fisher-Yates shuffle, a well-established unbiased shuffling algorithm, not a naive or predictable ordering.
Does it store the list I paste?
No — the whole list, shuffle and pick happen entirely in your browser, and nothing is sent to a server.
Can I pick more winners than entries in my list?
No — the winner count is automatically capped at your list’s length, so you can never get more winners than entries.
Does deduping remove entries with different capitalization?
Yes — the dedupe option compares entries case-insensitively, so "Alice" and "alice" count as the same entry.
Can I re-run the pick to get a different result?
Yes — clicking pick again re-shuffles and draws again, since each draw is an independent random shuffle.
