Why Simulate Your Draft Lottery Online?
A draft lottery simulator brings the excitement of NBA Draft Night to your fantasy league. Instead of pulling names from a hat, our simulator uses cryptographic randomness and weighted ping-pong-ball odds to determine the draft order — the same method the NBA uses to assign draft picks to its 14 lottery teams.
Choose from four weighting modes: Equal Odds gives every team the same chance, NBA-Style gives worse teams dramatically better odds (just like the real lottery), Linear scales odds proportionally, and Custom lets you set exact lottery ball counts per team. Each mode shows a live odds matrix so every manager can see their probability at every draft position before the lottery is sealed.
After the draft order is generated, schedule a reveal date and share one link with your league. Everyone flips cards together — last pick to first — with confetti, GIF reactions, and a full snake draft board. The results are locked server-side from the moment of creation, so not even the commissioner can change them. Fair, transparent, and unforgettable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use this instead of drawing names from a hat?
A hat draw happens once, in private, and you just have to trust whoever pulled the names — or record the whole thing to prove it was legit. Our lottery is generated with cryptographic randomness, sealed on our server the instant you create it, and locked until your scheduled reveal date. Nobody — not even the commissioner — can see or change the results. No recording needed. Your whole league reveals together, so there's zero question about fairness.
Do I need to record the lottery to prove it's fair?
No. That's the whole point. The results are generated and sealed server-side the moment you create the lottery — before anyone can see them. They're locked until your reveal date, and every manager in your league opens the same link to see the same results at the same time. The sealed reveal replaces the recording. No more filming yourself pulling names from a hat or screen-recording random.org.
Can the commissioner rig the draft order?
No. The draft order is generated and locked server-side the moment the lottery is created. It's sealed until the reveal date you set. The commissioner can't view, edit, or regenerate the results. What you see on reveal day is what was created on day one.
What are NBA-style lottery odds?
The NBA Draft Lottery gives the worst teams the best odds at the #1 pick, but any lottery team can move up. Our NBA-Style mode uses the same weighted distribution — the bottom of your standings gets dramatically better odds, while the top still has a shot. It's the fairest way to reward bad seasons without making the outcome a foregone conclusion.
Why schedule a future reveal date?
The reveal date is the integrity mechanism. By sealing the results and locking them until a future date, every manager in your league knows the order was determined before anyone could influence it. Schedule it for your draft party and everyone flips picks together — last to first — for maximum suspense.
Is this actually free?
Yes. The draft lottery, all weighting modes, the reveal experience, and the snake draft board are completely free. No ads, no sign-up required for your league members. Pick constraints are available as a Pro feature ($3.99 for 30 days), but the core tool is free forever.
Why not just use random.org or a spreadsheet?
Random.org gives you a number. A spreadsheet gives you a formula. Neither gives your league the experience. Our tool seals the results, schedules a reveal date your whole league can count down to, and lets everyone flip picks together with animations and reactions. It turns draft order into an event.
