Questions people ask
Clear answers and limits
Is the wheel really random?
Selection uses crypto.getRandomValues when available. The result is fixed before animation, so frame rate cannot affect the winner.
Can I give entries different odds?
Yes. Enter Name | 3 to give that line weight 3. Keep weight 1 for equal odds.
Does Aftermath upload my class list?
No. The list is parsed and drawn in the current page. Optional winner history uses only this browser's local storage.
Can I use it for raffles?
It can make an informal local choice, but it is not an independently audited public drawing system and should not be represented as one.
Why is there a 200-entry limit?
The limit keeps labels readable and animation responsive on lower-memory mobile devices.
