Random Number & Name Picker: Fair Draws, Teams and Dice
Need a fair winner, a lucky number or a quick decision? A Random Number & Name Picker chooses for you in a second, so nobody can say the result was biased.
What can the tool do?

- Team maker: split a list into any number of teams.
- Coin flip and dice: flip a coin or roll up to ten dice, from D4 to D100.
How to pick random numbers

Frequently asked questions
Why can't I pick more unique numbers than my range allows? A range of 1 to 10 has only ten possible numbers, so ten is the most you can pick without repeats.
Can I use it for official lotteries or legal draws? It is fine for casual draws. For legal or regulated draws, follow the rules that apply to you.
