Random Number Generator
Pick random numbers in any range. Set a minimum, a maximum, and how many you need - with or without repeats.
Tip: turn duplicates off to draw unique winners, like names from a hat.
What is a random number generator for?
Random numbers settle small decisions fairly. Teachers pick students for presentations, friends choose who goes first in a game, and organizers draw raffle winners. Instead of arguing about who picks, you set a range and let the generator decide. Because every number has an equal chance, nobody can claim the result was rigged.
Duplicates on or off?
It depends on what you are doing. Rolling dice allows repeats, so keep duplicates on. Drawing winners from a group does not, because the same person should not win twice, so turn duplicates off. When duplicates are off, the tool makes sure every number in your result is unique.
Frequently asked questions
Are the numbers truly random?
Yes. The generator uses your browser's secure random number source, so every number in the range has an equal chance of being picked.
What does allow duplicates mean?
With duplicates allowed, the same number can appear more than once, like rolling a die. With duplicates off, every number in the result is unique, like drawing names from a hat.
Can I generate more numbers than the range allows?
Only if duplicates are allowed. Without duplicates, the count cannot be larger than the size of the range, and the tool will tell you if you try.
Can I use this for a raffle or giveaway?
For casual draws among friends, yes. For anything with real prizes or money, use a certified draw service instead, since this tool is not audited for that purpose.
Is my range saved anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser and nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
