What Pick a Number can do:

Example:

Input:

10
20
20
30
hello

With Options: Ignore duplicates ✓, Skip invalid ✓

Possible Output:

10

(or 20 or 30 – depends on the random draw)

Common Use Cases:

Perfect for randomizing values, drawing winners, choosing test cases, or just making a decision. You can control cleanup, pick conditions, and format easily no fluff, no reloads. Just paste, pick, and go.
