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 workplace raffles and board games to classroom decisions, statistical sampling, 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 prize draws, games, sampling, 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, and a list tool for shuffling or picking random winners from a custom list.

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.

Go to the List tab and enter all entrants' names, one per line. Select Pick N and enter the number of winners. Click Generate — winners are selected at random with no repeats. Copy the result and share it as transparent proof of a fair draw.
