Frequently asked questions
Is the selection truly random? +
It uses your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator, so results are unpredictable and fair.
Can the same item be picked twice in a row? +
Yes, each run is independent, so the same item can be picked again on a later run.
Does it work with a very short list? +
Yes, even a list of two items works — each one still has an equal chance.
