SOM’s list randomizer is a convenient online tool for fair and fast winner selection in any contest or giveaway. Add your participant list, choose the number of winners — the system automatically makes a random selection in one second. No registration, completely free.

What is a List Randomizer?

A list randomizer (or random picker from list) is an online tool that automatically selects one or more winners from a pre-prepared list of participants. Unlike manual selection or using a number generator where you need to number participants, a list randomizer works directly with names, nicknames, or any text list.

SOM offers the simplest and fairest free randomizer for giveaways. Our service uses a cryptographic algorithm to ensure truly random selection, guaranteeing transparency and fairness for any contest.

Whether you need a tool to select a winner among 20 followers or for a large-scale giveaway with thousands of participants — our randomizer will handle any task instantly and for free.

The tool works directly in your browser, requires no program installation, registration, or personal data. Simply paste your list, click the button — and the winner is selected.

How to Use SOM’s List Randomizer

Using our online list randomizer is so simple that even a beginner can handle it. The entire process takes less than a minute.

Step 1: Prepare Your Participant List

Copy your contest participant list in text format. Each participant should be on a new line. These can be:

• Names and surnames

• Nicknames on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook

• Customer email addresses

• Phone numbers

• Any other text list

Example:

Step 2: Paste the List into the Randomizer

Open the SOM page and paste your prepared list into the text field. The system automatically recognizes each line as a separate participant.

Automatic features:

• Empty line removal

• Total participant count

Step 3: Specify the Number of Winners

Choose how many winners need to be selected. You can select from 1 to any number (within the total list).

For example:

• 1 winner — main prize

• 3 winners — first, second, third places

• 10 winners — mass promo code giveaway

Step 4: Click “Pick Winner”

After clicking the button, the system instantly processes the list and randomly selects winners. The result is displayed in large, bright letters on the screen.

You can:

• Save results (copy or screenshot)

• Repeat the draw (if winner didn’t meet conditions)

• Exclude selected participants and conduct an additional round
