About
Draws items from a list with animation and history, ideal for raffles, secret santa and group decisions.
How to draw an item from a list
The UtilNexo list picker chooses one or more random items from a list you paste. It is perfect for raffles, secret Santa, quick decisions, and random selection of names or options.
You paste or type the list with one item per line and choose how many items to draw. The tool selects items randomly, and can remove each drawn item to avoid repetition.
The selection is fair and unbiased: all items have the same chance of being drawn. You can draw just one item or several at once, with or without replacement.
All processing happens locally in the browser, so your list is never sent to any server. It is ideal for everyday decisions, draws among friends, and group activities.
Examples
- List "Ana, Bruno, Carla" → drawing 1 item may return "Carla".
- List with 10 names → drawing 3 items without repetition returns three distinct names.
Limitations
- Blank items or empty lines may be counted, so clean the list before drawing.
- The draw is random but has no legal value for official or auditable draws.
How to use the list picker
- 1Paste the list with one item per line.
- 2Set how many items to draw and whether repetition is allowed.

Frequently asked questions
Is the draw fair?
Yes. Each item has the same probability of being chosen, and selection uses a random generator.
Can I draw without repetition?
Yes. With no-repetition mode enabled, a drawn item is removed and will not appear again.
Is it good for secret Santa?
Yes, that is a common use. Paste the names and draw one by one, without repetition, to define pairs.
