Parsing your list
The tool splits your input by newlines, optionally trims empty lines and collapses duplicates so each entry has equal weight.
Shuffling fairly
A Fisher–Yates shuffle backed by crypto.getRandomValues produces an unbiased permutation of the entries.
Drawing winners
The first N entries of the shuffled list become the winners — guaranteed unique and order-randomized.
