Random Drawer is the perfect tool to generate random numbers and randomly draw names from a list. The process is very simple: to generate random numbers, just enter the initial number and the final number. It is also available a convenient "blacklist", which allows you to exclude some numbers from the draw. Directly from the application you can create your name lists, from which you can make draws. Immediately after a draw you can also remove the items you have just chosen from the list, so that the drawer won't draw them again. If you want, you can even import lists from external files! You can also keep track of your previous draws with a history for every list. Random Drawer is a completely free application: you can draw an unlimited amount of names, and create an indefinite number of lists. You will not be asked to pay to unlock additional features!
