Is the result really random?

Yes. The winning segment is chosen with a cryptographically secure random generator before the animation plays, so every entry has an equal chance and the outcome cannot be predicted from the spin.

How many entries can the wheel hold?

You need at least two entries to spin; beyond that you can add as many as you like, with long labels trimmed to fit on each segment.

Is the spin fair if names appear more than once?

Each line is a separate segment, so a name listed twice has twice the chance of winning. List each entry once for an even draw, or repeat one deliberately to weight it.

Can I use it for giveaways and prize draws?

Yes. Paste your list of participants, one per line, and spin to pick a winner. Because the selection uses a secure random generator, it is fair for raffles, classroom picks, and team decisions.

How do I add or change entries?

Type one entry per line in the box. Editing the list redraws the wheel immediately, so you can add, remove, or rename options between spins.

Does it pick without replacement?

No. Each spin is independent and the full list stays on the wheel, so the same entry can win twice in a row. Remove a name manually after it wins if you want a no-repeat draw.

Do my entries get uploaded?

No. The wheel is drawn and spun entirely in your browser and your entries never leave your device.

Wheel of Names Spinner

Wheel of names spinner

Make decisions the fun way. Add any list — names, prizes, chores, dinner options — and spin the wheel to land on a fair, random winner with a smooth animation. It is great for classroom picks, team standups, giveaways, and settling friendly arguments without anyone claiming the draw was rigged.

How it works

Each line you type becomes a coloured segment on the wheel. When you spin, the tool first picks the winning entry using the browser’s cryptographically secure random generator (crypto.getRandomValues), then animates the wheel so it decelerates and stops on that pre-chosen segment. Because the winner is decided by secure randomness rather than by where the animation happens to land, every entry has a genuinely equal chance.

You need at least two entries to spin. Each spin is independent — the full list stays on the wheel, so the same name can come up again.

Example

Enter four lunch options:

Pizza
Sushi
Tacos
Salad

The wheel draws four equal segments, each with a 25% chance. Spin it and it lands on one — say Tacos — which is shown as the winner below the wheel. Spin again and any of the four can win, including Tacos a second time.

The winner is chosen with a secure random generator and the whole wheel is drawn right in your browser. Your entries never leave your device.
