random draws

Arbitrary picking results

Random draws are selections made by chance, where each eligible item or person has an equal probability of being chosen.

The term appears in lotteries, statistical sampling, and any process where outcomes are determined without bias or preference: Winners will be selected by random draw.

In statistics, random draws from a population form the basis of representative sampling.
