The method, explained

Trim each line, discard blank lines, then choose a uniform random index using browser cryptography.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

A list of three different names gives each entry a one-in-three chance on each draw.

What to keep in mind

Duplicate entries remain separate and increase that label’s chance. The selected entry is not removed, so repeated draws are with replacement.

Common questions

Can the same name win twice?

Yes. Each draw uses the whole list again. Use a shuffled list for an ordering without repeated positions.

What if a name appears twice?

It occupies two entries and therefore has twice the chance of a name appearing once.
