Too many comments for the free picker
A fair draw needs every comment, and this post has more than 1,000. Export its comments with replies off, then press Pick winners from this file on the export page: the same rules, drawn from all of them.
300 points per 1,000 comments, or this one post from $9.99 without an account. The price shows before you pay.
Export the commentsWinners
Paste the link of your Reddit giveaway or "comment to enter" post and the picker reads its top-level comments with their u/ names. One entry per account is on by default, so someone who comments five times is in the draw once.
Every comment that passes your rules has the same chance, and the result page, which you can link in an edit to the post, shows the entries, the winners and a check anyone in the thread can repeat. Moderators use it for flair and key giveaways, and makers for beta invites.
How to use the Reddit Random Comment Picker
Paste the post link
Any form works: the address bar, old.reddit.com, redd.it or Share > Copy link in the app. The subreddit has to be public.
Set the rules from your post
Winners and backups, one entry per account, a word the comment must contain, a deadline, and accounts to leave out, like the mods running it.
Draw and message the winner
Each winner shows with their u/ name, comment and a permalink. Reply to their comment and send them a chat or message from your account.
Running a giveaway on Reddit
- Read the subreddit's rules first, or ask its moderators: many subreddits don't allow giveaways or self-promotion, and a removed post means a draw nobody saw.
- Put the rules in the post: the prize, the deadline with a time zone, what counts as an entry and who can enter.
- Keep entry free and don't ask for upvotes; asking for votes breaks Reddit's rules on vote manipulation.
- Say you'll only contact the winner from your own account, and that you'll never ask for payment or account details.

Questions
Do I need a Reddit account or the Reddit API?
No. Paste the link; the picker reads the public comments.
Are replies entries?
No. Only top-level comments are, which is how "comment to enter" posts work.
Are the poster's own comments left out?
Yes, by default. You can list other accounts to leave out too, written with or without u/.
Can I require entrants to mention someone?
Yes. "Must mention friends" counts different u/names (and @names) in a comment, leaving out the commenter's own.
What about posts with more than 1,000 comments?
The free picker stops at 1,000 so a draw never leaves anyone out. Export the comments with replies off, then open the export and press "Pick winners from this file": the same rules, every comment.
