What Is a Random Picker (List)?

Picking a winner from a raffle, choosing a movie from a shortlist, selecting volunteers from a roster or sampling names for a usability test all share the same core operation: pick one or more items from a list with provable fairness. Every line in your textarea has equal probability of being picked.

This picker supports both sampling modes that statisticians care about. With replacement (Allow duplicates on) means an item can be picked more than once — useful when simulating draws or modelling independent trials. Without replacement (Allow duplicates off) removes each picked item from the pool, which is what raffles and unique selections need.

Randomness comes from crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographic source — the same one used by password generators. Nothing in your list leaves the page.
