# X (Twitter) Giveaway Picker

https://aicommentexporter.com/twitter-comment-picker/

Pick random winners from the replies to an X post, with tag-a-friend and keyword rules. Free for posts with up to 1,000 replies, no account.

Paste the link of your giveaway post on X and the picker reads the replies to it. Most X giveaways ask people to reply and tag friends: set how many different @names a reply needs and the replies that tag fewer are left out before the draw. A reply that mentions only you doesn't count as tagging a friend.

Every reply that passes the rules has the same chance, and the public result page lists the entries, the seed and every draw made for the post, so a quiet re-draw can't be hidden. Likes and reposts can't be read without the author's login, so a "like and repost to enter" rule has to be checked by hand on the winner before you announce them.

1. **Paste the post link**: Use Copy link from the post's share menu, or the address bar. Links from x.com and twitter.com both work; the account has to be public.
2. **Set the rules from your post**: Winners and backups, one entry per account, how many friends a reply must tag, a hashtag or word it must contain, a deadline and accounts to leave out, like your own team.
3. **Draw, check, then announce**: Each winner shows with their @handle, their reply and a link to it. Open their profile to check they follow you or reposted if your rules asked for it, then reply to them or send a DM.

## Running a fair giveaway on X

- Write the rules in the post or a reply under it: the prize, the deadline with a time zone, what counts as an entry, who can enter and how you'll contact the winner.
- Ask for one reply per person and say that extra accounts are disqualified; one entry per account is on by default in the picker.
- Keep entry free. Asking people to pay or buy to enter can make a giveaway a lottery in many countries, and check the promotion rules where you and your entrants live.
- Copycat accounts with your name reply to big giveaways asking winners to "claim" a prize. Say you'll only contact the winner from your own account and never ask for payment.

**Can it check that entrants follow me or reposted?** No. X only shows who liked or reposted a post to its author, so no outside tool can read it without your login. Check the winner by hand: open their profile and see if they follow you and reposted, and draw a backup if they don't.

**Does tag-a-friend work?** Yes. Set "Must mention friends" to the number your post asks for. The picker counts the different @names in a reply, leaving out the replier's own and yours.

**Are my own replies entries?** No. "Leave out the account's own replies" is on by default, and you can list other accounts to leave out.

**Are replies to replies entries?** No. Only direct replies to your post are, which is how "reply to enter" giveaways work.

**What about posts with more than 1,000 replies?** The free picker stops at 1,000 so a draw never leaves anyone out. Export the replies with replies-to-replies off, then open the export and press "Pick winners from this file": the same rules, every reply.
