Can the same name be picked twice?

No, picking is without replacement — each pick removes that entry from the current draw, so a name can't be selected twice in the same pick.

What does "remove picked names from the list" do?

When enabled, names you've already picked are removed from the textarea itself, so a follow-up pick only draws from the remaining names.

What if I pick more names than are in my list?

At most all of the names in your list will be picked — you can't select more names than you've entered.

Is this good for classroom cold-calling?

Yes, paste your class roster and pick one name at a time, optionally removing each picked student so no one is called twice.

Does duplicate name text affect the odds?

Yes, if a name appears multiple times in your list, it effectively has a higher chance of being picked, similar to extra raffle tickets.

Are my names stored anywhere?

No, everything happens locally in your browser tab — nothing is uploaded or transmitted.

Can I save multiple picks over time?

Yes, each time you click Save, that pick is added as a new entry to your local history, which you can review or restore from later.
