Draw sticks
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.
Draw once or narrow the round
The first draw stays quick: stop when the result works for you. To continue, choose Set aside and draw again. That stick leaves the current round, every remaining stick keeps an equal chance, and the last stick closes the round clearly. You can restore every stick at any time.
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. Every stick in the current round has the same chance; a stick you set aside leaves that round before the next draw.
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.
