Random selection for raffle winners

[Maree29]

I am running an online event where I will have a list of raffle purchasers. I have seen in previous settings where excel has the functionality to run a program to select a winner randomly. One can see the program scrolling through all the names and then eventually landing on a winner. 

Can someone tell me how to run such a program?

I think the question is if one person can win more than once with the *same* ticket versus winning more than once on a different ticket.

If you were drawing numbers out of a hat, are you putting the number that was drawn back in the hat?

If they can win more than once on the same ticket, then I think 5 sets of 1 number would be correct. If they cannot win more than once on the same ticket, then I think 1 set of 5 unique numbers would be correct.

@JMB17 Thankyou for being so quick to respond. 

Each ticket is unique and a person can buy multiple tickets.

Therefore 1 set of 5 numbers is the way to go.

JMB you have been wonderful. Not sure if against the rules but can you tell me your first name. If so I can publicly recognise you for your input. I don't even know if you are in Australia, but if you are, you will know about the Melbourne Cup.

Regards
