Random Number 1–10

A number from 1 to 10, drawn evenly — every value has exactly a 1-in-10 chance, guaranteed by rejection sampling rather than assumed. The range is preset; adjust anything and it becomes the full generator.

Where 1–10 draws get used

Ten is the classroom and games range: picking which student answers next, assigning a "rate it out of ten", ordering a playlist, deciding who goes first in a group of ten or fewer, or rolling a quick d10 without dice on hand. For tabletop-style dice (including a proper d10 with modifiers and history), use the dice roller. For names instead of numbers, the name picker draws winners from a list directly.

Small ranges are where sloppy generators show their bias most clearly in percentage terms, so this page runs the same engine as everything else on RandomNum: one random byte per draw, values 250–255 rejected, leaving exactly 25 complete sets of 1–10 per byte.

FAQ

Is each number really equally likely?

Yes. 250 of the 256 byte values are accepted, and 250 divides into 25 identical sets of ten — so each number from 1 to 10 has exactly 25 ways to come up.

Can I draw several different numbers at once?

Set "How many" above 1 and tick "No duplicates" — handy for picking, say, three distinct numbers for a podium finish.
