Picker
Comment Picker
The Comment Picker selects a random winner from a list of commenters. Paste the names from your giveaway video and it draws one at uniform random, every entry has an identical chance. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere; the draw happens entirely in your browser.
Picked with a uniform random draw across every pasted line, no weighting, no bots.
How it works
How to use the Comment Picker
Three steps, no account and nothing to install.
Running a giveaway fairly
A defensible giveaway needs a clear entry rule, a stated closing time, and a selection method you can demonstrate. Screen-recording the draw is the simplest way to show entrants it was genuine. Announce the winner publicly and give a deadline for them to claim, with a stated policy for redrawing if they do not respond.
Rules worth knowing
YouTube's contest policies require you to be responsible for your own contest, comply with local law, and not imply YouTube sponsors it. You cannot require people to do anything against YouTube's terms, including buying subscribers or engagement. Many jurisdictions also restrict requiring a purchase to enter, which is why most creator giveaways are free to enter.
