Random picker for giveaways — Instagram, Facebook, free, no login
Pick a fair winner from a giveaway entrants list — Instagram comments, Facebook entries, raffle ticket numbers, or any list pasted one per line. The picker draws one entry at random with cryptographic 50/50 fairness across every entrant. Designed for public giveaways where the audience expects to see proof the draw was fair — "random picker for giveaway" / "giveaway picker free no login" both land here. You're running a giveaway across 200 Instagram comments and three Facebook posts. Paste the comment list into the picker (one handle per line), tap Pick, and the screen shows the winner. Screen-record the tap if you want public proof to post back to the giveaway audience. The entrant list is encoded in the URL, so the same link reproduces the same setup if you need to draw a runner-up tomorrow. No login, no Instagram OAuth, no email collection — the entire giveaway runs from a single browser tab. That is the practical advantage over giveaway tools that require connecting your Instagram or Facebook account before the draw runs. Pasted entrants stay in your browser only; nothing is sent to a server.
Frequently asked questions
Is the result fair enough to publish to the giveaway audience?
Yes. The picker uses cryptographic rejection sampling, which means every entrant has exactly the same probability — no bias toward shorter handles, items at the top of the list, or any other artifact of the input order. Screen-record the tap if you want public proof; the JavaScript runs entirely in your browser, so the source is auditable from the page itself.
Can I draw a runner-up if the first winner doesn't claim the prize?
Yes. Tap Pick again — each tap is independent, so the next draw is a fresh random pick across the same entrant list. If you need to exclude the first winner, remove their handle from the list before tapping again. The shareable URL updates as you edit the list, so a new link sent to the audience reflects the corrected entrant pool.
Does the picker connect to my Instagram or Facebook account?
No. Plinkr does not connect to any social account. You paste the comment or entrant list manually (copy-paste from the platform), and the draw runs purely client-side. No OAuth, no API token, no permission to access your social profile. That is the main difference from giveaway tools that connect to your account before they will run a draw.
Is the picker free, or is there a paid tier for big giveaways?
Free, with no entrant cap that matters in practice — paste 10 names or 10,000, the picker handles both. No signup wall, no email collection, no "upgrade to draw more than X entries" prompt. The same picker page runs whether you are drawing for a 10-person team raffle or a 10,000-comment Instagram giveaway.
