YouTube Comment Picker
Paste the giveaway video, set your rules, draw a winner. One entry per person, optional keyword requirement, as many winners as you need. No signup.
The rules you can set
One entry per person collapses everyone's comments to a single entry, so the person who commented eleven times doesn't get eleven tickets. Must containenforces the condition you set in the video — a hashtag, the word “done,” a tagged friend. The channel owner's own comments are always excluded, because nobody wants to draw themselves.
Be straight with your audience
Two honest limits worth saying out loud. This draws from the most recent ~100 comments, so on a giveaway with thousands of entries it is a sample, not the whole pool. And the draw is your browser's random number generator — fine for a normal community giveaway, nota certified or auditable draw. If you're running a prize promotion where the rules or the law require verifiable randomness, use a service built for that. Screenshot the result either way; people trust what they can see.
After the giveaway
A giveaway video is usually the most comment-heavy thing a channel ever posts — and once the winner is picked, all that text just sits there. It's worth a read: those comments say what people actually want from you. The comment downloader exports them classified, and the full channel report does it across everything you've posted.
FAQ
How do I pick a random YouTube comment?
Paste the giveaway video's URL, choose your rules (one entry per person, an optional required keyword, how many winners) and draw. Winners appear with their comment so you can screenshot the result.
Does it stop one person entering ten times?
Yes, if you leave "one entry per person" ticked. Each commenter is then counted once no matter how many comments they left. The channel owner's own comments are always excluded.
How many comments does the draw cover?
The most recent ~100 comments on the video. For a giveaway with thousands of entries that isn't the full pool, so be upfront with your audience about how you drew, whatever tool you use.
Is the draw provably fair?
It's your browser's random number generator over the eligible comments. That's fine for a normal giveaway and it is not a certified or auditable draw. If you're running a prize promotion where the rules require verifiable randomness, use a service built for that.
