About Draw from a paper bag

This application can help you make draws with animated images, like a movie.
You can organize events such as a raffle or secret friend with this app, or just use it as a random numbers generator.
Put numbers or names in the paper bag, shake the bag and see the paper strip with the name drawn.
Allows more than one winner per draw (keep drawing after obtaining the first result).
You can also set a draw with repetition. In this case, the same name/number can be drawn more than once.
Another useful feature is to save in a file (export) the list of names entered in the current draw, so that it can later be retrieved (import).
The list of names can also be generated in any text editor of your choice and saved in a "txt" file, then imported into the app.

NEW FEATURE: as of version 0.84, there is a random numbers generator for lotteries.

If you have any questions, please see the integrated help.

ABOUT PERMISSIONS:

Brilliant! Just what I need. Love that I can import/export my list! Thanks!!

Amazing for using in bingo at school classes by changing the names of the subjects. Adjectives, nouns, animals, objects, foods, clothes... You could make the raffle a little faster. It takes too long to take a name. I like, a lot, the list of the names already picked to control the game. Also, the resume of the played game helps to continue the next day, in case the class ends before the game. It has everything to do with education. I just hope we can add as many names as we want and they can be saved to be used in other occasions. Please add that feature. Thanks a lot. Hugs from São Paulo. I would like to know what kind of document has to be imported. I typed names in Google docs and it didn't work.

This app did exactly what I needed, which was to make a decision with a wide range of options. Sorted out my reading list! Thanks to the dev!

M70%
by M####:

I hope there's an option to save a group of names so we can have 2 raffles saved at the same time. Also, I hope they could add a "video" feature where the process of drawing the names can be recorded and uploaded somewhere else.

Y70%
by Y####:

The limit on characters is a huge draw back for me as is the fact that I can't seem to be able to create and save multiple "bags" with different words

N70%
by N####:

The app does a great job for its purpose, it's just so slow in between pulling the numbers.

C70%
by C####:

Because my family can't decide who to pick and here comes the app It works just fine

P70%
by P####:

Missing: Input from your contact list. The ability to generate a list of names drawn. The ability to match a giver with a receiptant.

Y70%
by Y####:

This is the first random number picker I have found that doesn't repeat numbers (unless you want it to). Ideal for tombola and raffles. The bag graphics add a bit of excitement.

by Y####:

Not everyone is happy who they work with but alls fare in love and war.

Y70%
by Y####:

It's okay if you want to generate a list only once; but, if you want to use the same list over and over again, you have to re-enter it every time.

Awesome. Solved the problem with how we were going to draw the raffle. Basic and easy to use. Love that I could share the screen shot straight from the app to the winners.

Z70%
by Z####:

Love how easy it was to use & the animated drawing! Doesn't ask for crazy permissions either:) Thank you!

W70%
by W####:

This is awesome! Just like a random chooser....except better. The bag....the clear and large font...the only thing wrong is its not standard on every phone worldwide....but I'm gonna tell everybody about this!

J70%
by J####:

I'm using this app to run a raffle for my guild on elder scrolls online. It works well but it REALLY needs the option to put someone's name in the bag multiple times. As is I have to make chidy, then add chidy2, chidy3 ect. Just make an option next to the name of how many times it will be placed in the bag and this app would be perfect.

M70%
by M####:

This is good enough but not what I need it for personally. If I could add the same name multiple times I would be able to use it. As it is, the same name can only be used if you capitalize or add initials. I need multiple entries, if it's changed I would definitely use this.

Good but u cannot type more than 18 words annoying!!

Can we have an option to disable animation? It takes time to draw names. I have to wait for more than 5 sec to get the name drawn.

P70%
by P####:

I wish it were possible to turn off the animations.

N70%
by N####:

If your looking for something to pull names for a secret santa then this is your app. Anything other than that which would require additional options this isnt for you.

Does what I need it to, but it would be nice if it saved the names from the last draw. Apart from that, does exactly what it says on the tin.
