Collect and clean entries

Export or copy all eligible entries into a list – one name or username per line. Remove duplicates and anyone who didn't meet the rules (like following or tagging) before you draw.

Draw fairly

Paste the list into the Random Name Picker and click Pick a winner. It uses your device's cryptographic random generator, so every entry has an equal chance. Use 'Remove winners' to draw runners-up.

Prove it

Screen-record the draw or do it live, and announce the winner publicly. Keep the entry list in case anyone asks.

Follow the rules

Instagram and Facebook require a statement that the promotion isn't sponsored by them. Many countries and US states regulate sweepstakes – generally, no purchase should be required to enter.
