Sweepstake Generator

An office sweepstake is only fun when nobody can grumble about the draw. This tournament team randomizer handles that part for you: enter your participants, choose a preset team list or type your own, and every team is shuffled with a cryptographically secure Fisher–Yates shuffle before being dealt out round-robin. Whether you're running a World Cup sweepstake draw at work, a Euros pool with friends, or a March Madness bracket raffle, the result is the same — each person's team is pure chance, decided the instant you click. When there are more teams than people, the extras are dealt around again so everyone holds the same number of teams (give or take one); when there are more people than teams, the tool warns you up front and randomly — and fairly — picks who sits out. For the principles behind a draw people can trust, see our guide on how to run a fair raffle or lottery draw.

How to use:

1. Type or paste your participants, one name per line
2. Pick a team preset — the presets are editable examples, so adjust them to match the real fixture list — or choose Custom and enter your own teams
3. Check the participant and team counts shown under the inputs
4. Click "Draw the sweepstake" and watch the assignments reveal
5. Copy the results to your clipboard or print a sheet for the office wall
6. Not happy with your team? Tough luck — but you can always draw again before anyone pays in
