Weighted Random Picker
Pick items with custom probabilities.
This picker lets you give each option its own weight so some entries come up more often than others. It's built for weighted raffles, loot tables, or any decision where the choices shouldn't be equally likely. Add a number after each item and the tool turns those weights into fair, proportional odds.
List. Enter each option on its own line, adding a weight after it where you want different odds.

Frequently asked questions
How do I set a weight?
Add it after the item name with an x, comma, or colon — for example "Grand prize x1", "Carla, 5", or "Bob: 0.5". An item with no weight is treated as 1.
Does a higher weight mean more likely?
Yes. An item with weight 3 is three times as likely to be picked as one with weight 1.
Are the odds actually fair?
Yes. The pick is driven by your browser's Web Crypto randomness, so the long-run frequencies match the weights you set with no hidden bias.
Is my list of entries private?
Completely. Everything runs in your browser, and your items and weights are never uploaded anywhere.
