Rafflr is a highly sophisticated, online version of eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Overview

Rafflr is a simple app that helps you run raffles during ruby meetups or other events. Just enter a list of names, select the number of winners, and then start your raffle.

Rafflr will randomly remove names, one by one, until only the winners are left. Rafflr also plays the theme from Jeopardy as it counts down to the winning names -- which makes your raffle all the more fun!
