FAQ

What does "random drawing" mean? ▾

In this context, "drawing" means a prize draw — the same as a raffle or lottery drawing. You draw a name from a pool of entries at random. It has nothing to do with artwork. Someone who "wins the drawing" wins the prize.

Is it really random? ▾

Yes. The tool uses crypto.getRandomValues() — a cryptographically secure random number generator built into modern browsers. It's more secure than Math.random() and each entry has exactly equal probability of being selected.

How do I prove the draw was fair? ▾

After the draw, click "Share live replay" to get a shareable link. Anyone clicking it sees the draw animation play out — names cycling, slowing, landing on the winner. The result card shows total entries and timestamp. Post it publicly to prove fairness.

Is it free? No email needed? ▾

Completely free. No email, no account, no credit card. All features — multiple winners, weighted entries, spin wheel, prize tiers, saved lists, replay link — are free with no limits. Powered by SecretSantaMatch.com.
