How to pick a random winner for an Instagram giveaway

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Collect the @usernames of everyone who met the rules, usually from the post's comments, and paste them in the box, one per line. Remove duplicates if each person gets only one entry. Choose how many winners, keep No repeats ticked, and press Draw. The result shows the date, time and number of entries, so take a screenshot or a screen recording of the draw to post in your Stories as proof. Follow Instagram's promotion rules too.
