About Draw Sticks

One non-empty line equals one stick

The input is split by line, trimmed, and blank lines are skipped. Each remaining line becomes one stick with the same chance of being drawn, so repeated text lines still count as separate sticks if you intentionally enter them more than once.

Simple draw stage with verification

Draw Sticks uses a single reveal path rather than a mode toggle. If reduced motion is requested, the result appears immediately. After drawing, the stage shows the selected stick, its position, a copy button, and verification data with seed, timestamp, mode, and inputsHash.

Best for lightweight choices

Use it for simple lists such as what to do first, where to eat, or a small party prompt. It is not meant to provide religious divination, certified raffle governance, or a guaranteed answer to important personal, medical, legal, or financial decisions.

FAQ

Common questions and answers about this topic.

Are stick draw results truly random?

Yes. Paji Lots uses the browser's cryptographically secure random source and shows verification details with every result, including seed, timestamp, and input hash.

How should I enter stick texts?

Put one stick text on each line. Blank lines are ignored, and each non-empty line has the same chance of being drawn.

Why does the result show a stick number?

The number points back to the original non-empty input line, so you can audit which stick was selected without changing the odds. Every valid line still has the same chance.

Are my stick texts uploaded or saved?

No. The draw runs in your current browser page. Paji Lots does not require an account and does not upload your stick texts to a server.
