You give
A list of names, tickets or items, one per line
You get
Winners, a shuffled order, or balanced teams
Good to know
Each line is one entry, so duplicate lines are extra chances (use Remove duplicates to prevent this). Lists of tens of thousands of entries work but the animation is skipped for very large lists.

FAQ

Is the draw fair?

Yes. Every entry has an equal chance: picks use a cryptographically secure generator with unbiased sampling and a Fisher–Yates shuffle. The animation is just for show; the result is decided before it plays.

How are teams balanced?

Everyone is shuffled and then dealt out round-robin, so team sizes never differ by more than one.
