random.org

It’s used by a great number of sites that are offering freebies to select their winners.

Sorry, accidentally hit the button on the trackball.

The sites where I have seen how they do it first put in the list of entrants and use the list randomizer to scramble up the entries, then the use the integer generator to pick the winning entry in the scrambled list.
