How do you guys pick a winner? Put the names in a bowl and have your wife pick one out? I've got some stuff I want to give away.

If you google "random number calculator," you'll find a bunch of them.

I use the reply numbers from each person's forum post, then a random drawing, then I can go straight to that post and PM the winner.

That excludes everyone from 1-9.
Easy to use random number generators can be found via Google. 
It's good to make a separate numbered list of entrants. Invariably, you get some chatter in these threads so those folks have multiple post numbers; and therefore better odds. Then you get folks that say "thanks, but don't enter me." All in good spirit, but it complicates simply using the post number.
the phone app I used allowed you to select a range and eliminate numbers before selecting a random number.

I marked 1 through 100 on pennies. I go through the thread to see which members have said they want to be included and I put their numbered penny in a bowl, the penny matches their post number.
My wife or daughter gets the pleasure or drawing a number out of the bowl. WINNER.
Just the way I do it.
By the way, the bowl is one I turned on a lathe back in high school woodworking class and it is sitting here on my computer desk with the pennies in it.

Hell, just send it to me!

Hell, just send it to me!
That would simplify things considerably!
