What this tool does
It picks a random winner from comments you paste in. There is no post URL box, and that is the point: the moment a tool asks for your link, your entrants and everything they wrote are sitting on somebody else's server. Pasting is more work and it is the only version where the entries genuinely stay on your machine.
The draw uses your browser's cryptographic random number generator, shuffles the whole eligible pool, and takes the winners off the top, so nobody can be drawn twice and the draw is uniform rather than roughly uniform.
There is no reroll button, deliberately. A picker you can respin until you like the winner is not a picker, it is theatre. The one thing this tool is for is being able to tell your audience the draw was fair.
It is free, there is no signup, and the whole thing runs in your browser.
How to pick a winner from Facebook comments
The draw is the easy part. Being able to defend the result when somebody asks is the part worth getting right.
- 1Load all the comments firstFacebook hides comments behind View more comments and collapses replies. Click through every one of those before you copy, or you will draw from a fraction of your entrants and never know.
- 2Copy and paste them inFacebook copies as Name: comment, which is exactly what this expects. That colon is what lets the tool spot the same person entering twice.
- 3Set your rules before you look at the namesDecide one entry per person, or must contain a word, first. Changing the rules after you have seen who is in the pool is how a fair draw quietly stops being one.
- 4Read the excluded panelBefore you announce anything. If your rules disqualified most of the entries, you want to know now rather than when somebody asks why they did not win.
- 5Draw onceThere is no reroll and that is the feature. If you draw ten times and pick your favourite, you did not run a giveaway.
What Facebook makes harder than Instagram
Same tool, and two real differences worth knowing before you rely on a rule.
- 1Names are not uniqueInstagram handles are unique by design. Facebook display names are not: two Sarah Whitfields are two different people and this tool sees one. One entry per person is doing its best, not something you can prove.
- 2Tags do not always copy as textA Facebook tag is a link, and depending on how you copy, it can come through as plain text with no @ at all. Check your paste before you rely on the must tag rule.
- 3Comments hide behind View moreFacebook is more aggressive than Instagram about collapsing comments and replies. This is the single most likely reason your draw is missing entrants.
- 4So check the winner by handOn any giveaway with real value, look at the winning profile before you announce. That takes a minute and it is the only check that catches a duplicate name or a fake account.
What this picker does, and what it does not
It draws a fair winner from what you paste. Everything around the giveaway is still yours.
What this picker does
- A genuinely random drawYour browser's cryptographic random number generator, a full shuffle, and no winner drawn twice. Actually fair, not approximately fair.
- Your rules, applied to everybodyOne entry per person, must contain a word, must tag someone. Consistent in a way that is impossible by eye at four hundred entries.
- A record of who was excludedShown before you announce, with the reason. The number that surprises people is how many entries fail their own rules.
- Total privacyNo post link, no upload, nothing stored. Your entrants' names stay on your machine, which is not true of any picker with a URL box.
What it cannot do
- Telling two people with the same name apartThis is the big one on Facebook specifically. Display names are not unique, so one entry per person matches on a name that two humans can share. It is best effort, not proof.
- Comments you never loadedFacebook collapses comments and replies behind View more. Copy without expanding them and most of your entrants were never in the draw.
- Telling a bot from a personA giveaway is a scam magnet, and to a text parser a crypto account's comment is an entry like any other. Look at the winner's profile before you announce.
- Checking anyone liked your pageThat needs access to your account. Follow or like requirements are on you to verify by hand, on the winner.
- Running your promotion legallyPrize rules, eligibility, and Meta's promotion guidelines are yours. The tool draws a name.
- The comment section afterwardsA giveaway post attracts more scam accounts than anything else you will ever post, and they do not leave when the draw ends.
Running the giveaway vs Sweep Inbox
The draw takes a minute. The comment section a giveaway creates lasts for weeks. Here is the split.
| This picker | Sweep Inbox | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free, no signup | Paid, with a 7 day free trial |
| What it sees | The comments you paste | Every comment as it lands |
| The crypto bots entering | Counted as entries. One could win | Hidden within seconds of arriving |
| After the draw | Nothing. It is done | Still watching the post the scammers found |
| Your entrants' data | Never leaves your browser | Stays in your own account |
Questions people actually ask
- Expand every View more comments and every reply thread on the post, copy the comments, and paste them in above. Set your rules, then draw. This uses your browser's cryptographic random number generator and shuffles the whole pool, so the draw is uniform and nobody can win twice.
