About this tool
For Secret Santa, the draw ensures nobody gets their own name and everyone is assigned exactly once, with every possible pairing equally likely. Each participant can reveal only their own match, keeping everyone else’s a secret.
Team assignments shuffle the names and distribute them evenly, so groups can differ by no more than one person.
Frequently asked questions
How do I pick a winner from Instagram comments?
Copy the commenters’ usernames, paste them one per line, and pick a winner. Leave “Ignore duplicate names” checked so each person counts once, or uncheck it to count each comment as an entry.
Can a Secret Santa draw leave someone with their own name?
No. The draw automatically reruns until nobody gets their own name.
Is it really free? Is there a daily limit?

Does it work on phones?
