Frequently Asked Questions
How does an Instagram comment picker work?+
Paste the URL of a public Instagram post or Reel and PickAWin fetches the comments (automatic fetch is a one-time payment per draw), or paste the comment list yourself for free. Then apply filters (duplicates, required @mentions, hashtag, excluded users and words) and draw. Each draw uses a random 256-bit seed; the result shows the seed and SHA-256 hashes (also on the PDF certificate). Automatic draws get a public result page, and the hash can be checked at /verificar to confirm the published result was not edited afterwards.
Is PickAWin really free?+
The manual mode is free: paste the comment list (copied from the post) and draw in your browser — no signup, no size limit (minimum 2 participants), with SHA-256 record, basic animation and PDF certificate. Automatic fetching of comments from the post link is paid: from US$ 7.99 per draw for posts up to 3,000 comments, one-time, not a subscription. Premium adds a cinematic reveal.
What makes SHA-256 verification important for giveaway pickers?+
Each draw uses a random 256-bit seed; the result shows the seed and SHA-256 hashes (also on the PDF certificate). Automatic draws get a public result page, and the hash can be checked at /verificar to confirm the published result was not edited afterwards. It shows the result was not changed after the fact; the participant list is not published, so outsiders cannot re-run the draw.
Does PickAWin work with Instagram Reels?+
Yes. Instagram feed posts, Reels and carousels can be fetched automatically from their link (paid). Comments from other networks (YouTube, TikTok, X, Facebook, etc.) can be pasted in the free manual mode.
How is PickAWin different from Comment Picker?+
PickAWin records every result with a random seed and SHA-256 hashes, gives automatic draws a public result page you can check at /verificar, charges one payment per draw (no subscription) and has English, Spanish and Portuguese versions. Check Comment Picker's site for its current features.
Can I filter tags, hashtags, or duplicates?+
Yes. You can require @mentions of friends, require a hashtag, keep only one entry per person, and exclude specific usernames or words.
How many winners can I pick at once?+
Several. You can pick more than one winner in the same draw; the same SHA-256 record covers all of them.
