iPhone app Handy Randy

Uses of random numbers range from the frivolous (playing games) to the serious (handing out door prizes at events, or selecting random winners for a lottery) to the ultra-serious (performing business audits).
Handy Randy is the ultimate random number software, easy to use but with features galore:

Generate random numbers in user-specifiable ranges

Allow or preclude duplicates from occuring

Select random names from your entire Contact list or from any Group (e.g., pick a name of a student to do a special assignment, and, by preventing duplicates, make sure everyone gets a chance eventually)

Select random items from lists you create on the iPhone or elsewhere - students in a class, attendees at a conference, cards in a deck, players in a fantasy league, etc.

Draw one or multiple numbers, names, or items with each tap (e.g., roll four dice at the same time by drawing four numbers from 1-6 at a time)

When drawing just a single winner, hide the list of previous winners and display the winner nearly full-screen, able to be viewed by, for example, an entire classroom of students

Draw the winner by tapping a button or by shaking the unit, accompanied by a choice of sounds (e.g., drumroll, trumpet fanfare) for dramatic effect in a public setting

Draw numbers from up to three different, non-contiguous ranges (e.g., 1-200, 350-475), either jointly or in alternation.
Award random prizes in raffles or other events.

Display the scrollable list of winners as drawn or sorted

Email or print the list of winners

Choice of background colors

Choice of sounds

Add lists from which to pick (e.g., names of students in a class) manually, via the clipboard, via iTunes file sharing, or via download from an internet-accessible file

Support for landscape orientation (iPad only)

One version runs on iPhone, iPad, and M1 Macs,
