ok… so i have a few hundred subscribers on my FB and i’m picking a winner of the Supras tomorrow. How exactly can a pick a random winner without actually writing out all the names and putting them in a hat… is there a program online or anything that anyone knows about?

this is what happens when you have an idea and haven’t figured out all the details yet…

  2. dingoat said: andrew.hedges.name/expe… … let it pick the number, then you just gotta count down the list! ;)
  3. lavie-estbelle-enrose said: There’s probably a program online for it D: wish I could enter I don’t have a Facebook
  4. phoenixred27 said: Dante, your a pip and a half :) Thank God you have cool fans
  5. elledeau said: randomly generate a number (easy to find generators online) and then count from the top of your fans to that number. So if it’s like 137, count through the list to 137.
  6. medicmikey said: use random.org and then, on the facebook list of names of people, choose the ???th friend on the list (according to the number you get in random.org)

  8. theinsanecrayonbox said: I’d normally just use random.org and use the number generator, putting in your max count obviously, then whatever number it picks find the name that’s that number on the list. Less putting in names, but more counting involved ^^;
  9. angrybidoof said: Something like this www.clas…. net/education-games-php/fruit_machine you’d have to put the names in manuly put you could just copy and past them

  11. terezis said: Paste all of the name in a document like Word, then number them! Then put that number (say, 1-1000) in random.org/sequenc… and you’ll get a random number.
  12. chalupafairy said: Random.org?
  13. nomnomnompanda said: I’m sure there is a way to “view” the subscribers just like you would to view your friends list… print the pages off and cut them into individual strips that have the name and picture on it. Then just draw them out of a hat. :)
  14. lunaticstar said: Close your eyes, scroll up and down like a crazy person or have someone else do it, and point. I don’t know how more random you can get.
  15. livvefast said: random.org/sequenc… Assign every entrant a number and use this.
  16. slowbromcgee said: You could paste all the names in a spread sheet and then use a random number generator.
  17. formerlyanon said: You copy paste all the names into a word doc, have them be numbered, and then use a randomizer online to pick one of the numbers.
  18. route-113 said: random.org is real nice
  19. cannibal-aries said: its ok not to think things through once in a while. but this…. this is one of those things you need to think through.
  20. axelhunter said: you can go to random.org and tell it to pick a random number between 1 and however many followers you have on your FB, that’s what a lot of tumblr people do
  21. femmeboythree said: There is a random number generator so if you assigned everyone a name, and then used the random number generator, it would come up with something which you could then use.
  22. avrilventfleur said: you can use the random number generator I guess and then whatever number comes up pick that numbered follower?
  23. pizzachan said: i have an idea… just give em to me hehe B)
  24. thesherlocktor said: Just choose me, totally solves your problem zuko bro
  25. gameoflimes said: Go here random.org and pick the person at that place in the list
