Would a random selection of participants created by (literally) drawing names from a hat have sufficient methodological rigor in your field? Is there sufficient perceived potential bias that this method of random selection would pose problems for publishing the work? Explain.

It has nothing to do with the publishing issue although one should adopt proper type of the probability sampling to select the study subjects. As you know there are many sub types of the random sampling e.g Simple Random, Systemic sampling, Cluster sampling etc . So the chances of bias are reduced.
