Random Number Generator

What is a random number generator?

A random number generator (RNG) is a tool that produces numbers with no discernible pattern or predictability. Random numbers are used for everything from lottery draws and workplace raffles to board games, classroom decisions, and social media giveaways.

There are two main types of generator:

• True random number generators (TRNG): use unpredictable physical phenomena — atmospheric noise, radioactive decay — as a source of entropy. The output is fundamentally unpredictable.
• Pseudorandom number generators (PRNG): use mathematical algorithms seeded with an initial value. Fast and sufficient for the vast majority of everyday uses, but theoretically reproducible if the seed is known.

Our tool uses your browser's crypto.getRandomValues() API — the same cryptographically secure source used for data encryption and TLS. Results are fully trustworthy for lotteries, prize draws, games, and any situation demanding genuine impartiality. All computation happens client-side: your numbers never leave your device.

How to use the random number generator

The tool is designed to be instant and friction-free:

1. Set the range: enter your desired minimum and maximum. By default the generator draws a number between 1 and 100.
2. Choose the quantity: need just one number, or several at once? Enter how many in the Quantity field.
3. Allow or disallow duplicates: for a draw where each entry can only win once, untick Allow duplicates.
4. Click Generate: your number appears instantly — no loading screens, no waiting.
5. Copy or regenerate: copy the result to your clipboard with one click, or hit Generate Again for a fresh draw.

The other tabs offer a dice roller (D4 to D20), coin flip, lottery number generator, and a list tool for shuffling or picking random winners from a custom list.

Generate lottery numbers – Super 5 Malta

Malta's main number-draw lottery is Super 5, operated by the National Lottery of Malta under the Malta Gaming Authority. Our generator supports the Super 5 format with a single click.

Super 5 (5/90)

Super 5 uses the classic 1–90 Maltese format shared with many Mediterranean and Southern European lotteries.

• 5 numbers from 1–90
• Draws: Wednesday and Saturday evenings
• Jackpot odds (match 5): 1 in 43,949,268
• Jackpot rolls over when not won

Select Super 5 in the Lottery tab and click Generate to get your five numbers instantly.

Malta also participates in EuroMillions via the National Lottery. To generate EuroMillions numbers, use the Number tab: set Min 1 Max 50 (Quantity 5, no duplicates) for the main numbers, then separately generate 2 numbers between 1 and 12 for the Lucky Stars.

Remember: no generator can improve your odds of winning. Every combination has exactly the same probability. A quick pick simply removes unconscious bias — like always playing the same numbers or clustering picks around birthdays.

What can you use a random number generator for?

Malta's vibrant community events and social culture make random number generators particularly useful in many everyday situations.

Social media giveaways

Instagram giveaways, Facebook prize draws, and TikTok contests are hugely popular across Malta and Gozo. Paste all entrant names into the List tab, select Pick N, and click Generate — the result is instant, transparent, and impossible to dispute.

School fêtes and tombolas

Malta's school fêtes, tomboli (tombola draws), and parish festa fundraisers are beloved community traditions. Use the number generator to draw winning ticket numbers, or the List tab to fairly select prize winners on the spot.

Feast days and village festas

Every Maltese village celebrates its patron saint's festa with fireworks, processions — and raffle draws. Our List tab provides a fair, instant digital alternative to pulling names from a drum at outdoor events.

Tabletop RPGs and board games

No dice to hand? The Dice tab covers D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20 — the full set for Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, or any board game. Roll up to six dice simultaneously with the total calculated automatically.

Decision making

Can't decide between two options? The Coin tab gives an instant heads-or-tails flip. The Number tab with Min 1 and Max however-many-choices works perfectly for picking between multiple options.

Lotteries and prize draws in Malta – culture and context

Malta has a deep-rooted lottery and prize-draw culture shaped by its Mediterranean heritage and strong Catholic traditions. The National Lottery of Malta, regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), has operated since 1975 and is the sole provider of national lottery games, including Super 5 and EuroMillions.

The Maltese tradition of the tombla (tombola) is especially strong — played at village festas, parish halls, and family gatherings throughout the year, and particularly at Christmas. The classic Maltese tombla uses a 1–90 number range, which is also the range used by Super 5. Our generator with Min 1 and Max 90 is the perfect digital substitute for a physical tombla drum.

Malta's village festas — celebrated from May through September — always include raffle draws and prize stalls. Each of Malta's 68 parishes celebrates its patron saint's feast with enormous community effort, and prize draws are a key fundraising mechanism. Our List tab provides a transparent, instant solution for any festa committee.

Under the Gaming Act (Chapter 583 of the Laws of Malta) and MGA regulations, commercial gambling in Malta requires a licence. Informal draws among friends, at school events, or within parish organisations for non-commercial purposes do not require authorisation.
