About Lucky Draw: Picker & Groups
Add names, tap, and let the app decide fairly in an instant. Lucky Draw does two things brilliantly: it picks a single winner from your list, and it splits everyone into balanced, fair groups. No accounts, no sign-up. The core features work even without a signal - in a classroom or on a mountaintop campsite alike. No more folding paper slips or replaying rock-paper-scissors. And no more of that "why me?" grumbling after the pick, because when the method is visibly fair, people accept the outcome. WHO IT'S FOR - Teachers and coaches arranging seating, study groups, or daily duties - Party and event organizers deciding speech order, seats, or who does what - Club and team leaders who care about fairness - Families settling game turns or chores at home - Anyone who wants quick, fair decisions without fuss TWO MODES 1) Pick just one Choose a single person at random. A drumroll spins names across the screen, gradually slowing until it lands on the winner with a satisfying stop. It's a genuinely fun, everyone-watching moment for picking who's up, a gift-exchange starter, or a representative. Copy the result with one tap and paste it straight into your chat app. Draw again as many times as you like. 2) Seating & group split Split everyone into the number of groups you choose, with sizes kept as even as possible. Split 7 people into 3 groups and you get 3-2-2 automatically, so the difference is never more than one person. Groups appear one by one on color-coded cards that are easy to read, and you can copy the full roster as text for a notice or a message. THE FEATURE NO OTHER APP HAS: "KEEP THESE TWO APART" The hardest part of grouping is the real-world constraint: "those two shouldn't be together." A pair that gets too rowdy, two veterans whose roles overlap, a combination you simply need to separate. Ordinary draw apps only shuffle randomly, so they can't honor requests like these. Lucky Draw lets you mark as many keep-apart pairs as you need. It keeps group sizes even while guaranteeing that every pair you set lands in different groups. Under the hood it runs a search that never gives up as long as a valid arrangement exists, so whenever one is possible, it finds it. If your rules are too strict to satisfy (too many keep-apart pairs, or too few groups), it clearly explains why and suggests adding a group or removing a rule. Better still, the search order is randomized every time. With the same people and the same rules, each shuffle produces a different arrangement, so nobody complains that "it's always the same group" or "I'm always with that person." Fairness and real-world flexibility, together, is what makes this app special. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The names and settings you enter are stored only on your device and are never uploaded to any server. There is no account or login. Drawing and grouping work offline; the internet is used only to show ads. Ads stay modest: a small banner plus an occasional full-screen ad (about one per five draws). ENGLISH & JAPANESE The app follows your device language automatically, and you can also switch between English and 日本語 manually in Settings at any time. SATISFYING TOUCHES Haptic feedback is finely tuned for each moment: the drumroll's ticking grows heavier toward the end, the winning result gives a pleasant thump, and each group lands with its own beat. You feel the "decided!" moment in your fingertips, not just your eyes. THREE EASY STEPS 1. Enter names one by one, or use "Paste many" to add a whole list separated by line breaks or commas. Your list is saved automatically. 2. Choose a mode. For groups, set the number of groups and add any "keep-apart" pairs. 3. See the result on a drumroll or color-coded cards, and copy it with one tap. Not happy with it? Re-shuffle as many times as you like. Add names, press once, and Lucky Draw wraps up your group's decisions in a way that leaves no one feeling shortchanged. Try it for today's grouping, seating, or draw.
