Random Winner Generator – Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial #39

Yesterday I announced a sweapstakes to give away a Codemy membership. In this video we’ll write some code to randomly select our winner! HINT: I picked more than one winner!

I took all the entries and added them to a Python list. I then converted the list into a Python set to automatically remove any duplicates, then converted it back to a Python list.

Next I generated a random number between 0 and the length of the list (minus one). Now we can use that to pick the winner from the list!

I wrapped the whole thing in a tKinter GUI so we would have something to look at!
