Add options and spin the wheel.
Spin to reveal a random winner
A wheel spinner turns your custom list into colored segments and uses random selection to pick one winner per spin. It is more engaging than drawing names from a hat because everyone sees the animation and result together.
This Muxgen tool runs in your browser: paste options into wheel-items, set spin-duration, click Spin the wheel. No account and no server upload for your lists. See 12 example presets below to copy starter option sets.
Three simple steps to random winner selection.
Type each choice on its own line in wheel-items (minimum 2). Watch the Options counter update via parseWheelOptions.
Enter spin-duration between 1000 and 10000 ms (default 3500) for quick or dramatic reveals.
Click Spin the wheel—the pointer selects one random segment and displays the winner card.
Every control in the spin the wheel component.
One option per line—parsed by parseWheelOptions. Min 2, max 100 recommended. Default 6 food items.
Live segment count below the textarea—updates on every keystroke.

Emerald winner card after spin completes—shows the winning label from pickWinnerIndex.

How option lists, duplicates, and spin settings interact.

Repeating the same text twice doubles that option's odds—use intentionally for weighted draws.
Short names scan better on small segments—avoid paragraphs in wheel-items.
Longer ms values increase suspense; shorter values keep back-to-back rounds fast.
Remove each winner from wheel-items after their spin for bracket-style play.
Keep the full list and spin repeatedly—track winners on a separate notepad.
