Spin the wheelis an online wheel spinner: you put names or options on the slices of a wheel, spin it, and it stops on one at random. It's a quick, visible and fair way to pick a winner, a student, an answer or what to do next.
This wheel holds 2 to 500 entries. Each spin uses your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator, and each entry's chance matches the size of its slice. Add weights to make some entries more likely, or remove each winner to run raffles, elimination games and turn orders.
Your wheel is saved in your browser, and a share link opens the same wheel on any device. People also call it a wheel of names, random name picker, decision wheel, prize wheel or picker wheel.
Three steps from a list to a winner.
Type or paste names, options or prizes, one per line (2 to 500), or start from one of 28 templates. Give the wheel a title if you like.
Click the wheel or the Spin button. The wheel slows down and stops with the pointer on one slice, chosen at random.
Remove the winner for the next round, spin again, copy your results, or share a link to the same wheel.
28 ready-made wheels in 6 groups, from yes-or-no to classroom jobs and a weighted prize wheel.
Shown above the wheel, in share links and in full screen. Useful when projecting for a class or stream.
One entry per line, up to 500. Labels show on wheels of up to 100 entries; on bigger wheels the name under the pointer shows as it spins.
End a line with *2, *3 and so on (up to *100) to make it that many times more likely. Its slice grows to match, so the wheel stays honest.
Shuffle the order, sort AβZ, remove duplicate lines (ignoring capitals), clear the list, or restore entries you removed.
quick (2 s), normal (4 s), long (7 s), and suspense (10 s). Longer spins add suspense. If your device asks for reduced motion, spins are short.
Bright, Pastel, and Black & gold themes. Neighboring slices never share a color.
Takes each winner off the wheel before the next spin, for raffles, picking order and elimination games.
A tick as each slice passes the pointer and a chime for the winner. Off by default.
Copy a link that opens the same wheel, show the wheel full screen on a projector, and copy the numbered list of results.

Load this wheel βEnd a line with *2, *3 and so on to multiply its chance. The slice grows to match, so the wheel shows the real odds. Here is the weighted prize wheel template.
| Line | Weight | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Sticker pack *4 | 4 | 25% |
| Try again *4 | 4 | 25% |
| Free coffee *3 | 3 | 18.8% |
| Gift card *2 | 2 | 12.5% |
| Bonus spin *2 | 2 | 12.5% |
| Grand prize *1 | 1 | 6.3% |
The weights add up to 16, so an entry with weight 4 has a 4 in 16 chance. Entries without a weight count as 1.
Listing an entry on two lines does the same thing as *2, but gives it two separate slices instead of one big one.
Weights are visible to anyone who looks at the wheel or the odds table. For a giveaway, only use them if your rules say some people have extra entries.
The spin is a show, but the result is real: it's decided by a secure random number the moment you spin.
The winner is picked with your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), the same source used for passwords.
The result is decided the moment you spin, then the animation lands on that slice. Spin speed, timing and where you click don't change the odds.
Every slice's chance equals its share of the wheel. Equal entries have equal slices; weighted entries get bigger ones.
The pointer stops at a random spot inside the winning slice, not always the middle, just like a real wheel.
The wheel has no memory. A name that just won is exactly as likely to win again, unless you turn on Remove the winner.
There are no secret weights. The odds table under the entries shows every entry's exact chance.
The chance that one particular entry wins at least once in a number of spins, on a wheel with equal slices and winners left on. Even with as many spins as entries, some entries are usually missed.
| Entries | Chance per spin | 1 spin | 5 spins | 10 spins | 20 spins |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 50% | 50% | 96.9% | 99.9% | 100% |
| 4 | 25% | 25% | 76.3% | 94.4% | 99.7% |
| 6 | 16.7% | 16.7% | 59.8% | 83.8% | 97.4% |
| 10 | 10% | 10% | 41% | 65.1% | 87.8% |
| 20 | 5% | 5% | 22.6% | 40.1% | 64.2% |
| 30 | 3.3% | 3.3% | 15.6% | 28.8% | 49.2% |
Formula: 1 β (1 β 1/n)k for n entries and k spins. With Remove the winner on, every entry is picked exactly once in n spins, and each has the same 1/n chance of every finishing position.
Simple steps that make a random draw easy to trust.
Say how to enter, the closing time, how many winners and whether people can enter more than once.
Use Remove duplicates if each person should have one chance, or keep duplicates if extra entries were earned.
Spinning on a stream or recording your screen shows the draw was fair. Full screen and a wheel title make it easy to follow.
Turn on Remove the winner and spin once for first place, again for second, and so on. Nobody can win twice.
Copy results gives a numbered list of winners to post or save.
Giveaways, raffles and sweepstakes are regulated in many places. Social platforms also have their own promotion rules.
Ways teachers use a random name picker wheel every day.
Paste your roster and spin to choose who answers. Turn on Remove the winner so everyone gets a turn before anyone repeats.
With Remove the winner on, spin until the wheel is empty to set a random order.

How winners are chosen and what happens to your entries.

Your entries are saved only in this browser. Clearing your browser data removes them.
The entries are encoded in the part of the link after #, which browsers don't send to the server. Anyone with the link can see them.
Spin results stay on the page until you leave or clear them. Copy them if you need a record.
