- •Enabling duplicate removal ensures someone who commented multiple times doesn't get an unfair advantage in the draw
- •Re-run the pick as many times as you like for a fresh random draw from the same entry list
- •Screen-record or screenshot the result for transparency if you're running a public giveaway

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fetch comments automatically from a video?
No, YouTube doesn't allow fetching comments from a browser without the official Data API and a key - you'll need to copy and paste the comments yourself.
Why should I remove duplicates?
If someone commented multiple times, removing duplicates ensures they don't get multiple entries in the draw, keeping the selection fair to everyone.
Can I pick multiple winners at once?
Yes, set the number of winners to however many you need, and each pick is drawn without replacement so no one is picked twice.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. The entire selection process happens entirely in your browser.
How do I prove the draw was fair to my audience?
Consider screen-recording the process, or clearly explaining your methodology (like this tool's transparent random shuffle) in your giveaway rules.
