Random Draw · Online Raffle Picker · Winner Selection

The JAY Project Random Draw turns any phone or laptop into an instant, fair raffle tool — no paper, no pens. Pay-for-coffee bets, chore rotations, presentation order, event giveaways: any decision that needs a fair random pick wraps up in seconds.

Mix any number of winning and losing slots, flip cards one by one for in-person suspense, or reveal everything at once. Every draw uses cryptographic randomness (crypto.getRandomValues) so the result cannot be rigged.

Best Use Cases

☕ Coffee or Lunch Bets

Who's paying for coffee today? Enter the participant count, set losing slots to 1, and watch the team find out together — the most thrilling way to decide who treats.

🧹 Chores & Turn Order

Decide who cleans up, who presents first, or who goes next. Faster than rock-paper-scissors with no hard feelings — the random pick is final.

🎁 Event Winner Selection

Hosting a party or giveaway? Pick winners transparently in front of everyone. Multi-winner setups like "3 winners out of 10" work in a single draw.

How to Use

  1. Set Participants: Enter the total number of people joining the draw.
  2. Set Losing / Winning Slots: Decide how many lose (or win) — any mix is fine.
  3. Start the Draw: Cards are shuffled with cryptographic randomness.
  4. Reveal Results: Click cards one by one for suspense, or use "View All Results" to reveal everything at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How is this different from a ladder game?

Ladder games are visually fun but the outcome is locked the moment the ladder is drawn. JAY Project Draw generates a brand-new random result every run using crypto.getRandomValues, so each draw is genuinely independent.

Q. Can I set just one losing slot?

Yes. You set the number of participants and the number of losing (or winning) slots separately, so "5 people, 1 loses" works for paying for coffee, while "10 people, 3 win" works for raffles.

Q. Can I reveal cards one by one instead of all at once?

Click a card to flip it individually for suspenseful in-person reveals, or hit View All Results to show everything in one go.

Q. Can I use it to set turn order or chore rotation?

Set the losing count to zero and assign numbers to every card — perfect for picking presentation order or chore rotation without the friction of rock-paper-scissors.

Q. Is the draw really fair? Could it be rigged?

Every draw runs locally in your browser; nothing is sent to a server. Results use cryptographic randomness with a Fisher-Yates shuffle, so the distribution is statistically unbiased.

Q. How many people can I draw for at once?

There is no practical cap — dozens at once works fine. On mobile, very large card grids will require more scrolling, so split into rounds if needed.
