Wheel Spinner / Random Picker
Spin a colourful wheel to pick a random name, prize, or decision. Type your entries, give it a spin, and let chance choose — fair, fun, and entirely in your browser. Great for raffles, classrooms, and settling debates.
How to Use
- Type your options into the box, one per line — names, prizes, chores, restaurants, anything.
- Press Spin (or just click the wheel) and watch it slow to a stop on a winner.
- The chosen entry appears below the wheel.
- Tick “Remove winner after spin” to draw without repeats, perfect for raffles.
- Use Shuffle to mix the order, or a preset to get started.
A fair, visible random choice
Sometimes the easiest way to make a decision is to let chance make it — and a spinning wheel is the friendliest, most transparent way to do that. Everyone can see the wheel slow down and land, so there is no suspicion that the outcome was fixed. Behind the fun, the maths is simple and honest: every entry gets an equal slice of the wheel, and each spin chooses a random stopping point, so each option has exactly the same chance of winning. This tool draws your entries onto a real spinning wheel, animates a natural slow-down, and reads off whichever slice lands under the pointer.
It all runs in your browser — your list of names or options is never uploaded or stored, and the wheel keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
Where a spinner shines
A picker like this quietly solves a lot of small problems. Teachers use it to call on students fairly, with the “remove winner after spin” option so everyone gets a turn before anyone repeats. Streamers and event hosts use it for raffles and giveaways, because a visible spin feels fair to an audience in a way a hidden draw never does. Families use it to decide what to eat or who does the dishes, and teams use it to set presentation order or assign tasks. Anywhere a choice needs to be random and seen to be random, a wheel does the job — and unlike a coin or a single die, it scales to as many options as you can type.
About this picker
Type any list of entries, one per line, and spin — by clicking the wheel or the button. Turn on “remove winner after spin” for draws without repeats, shuffle to mix the order, or start from a preset. Everything is computed locally with your browser’s random generator for genuinely fair odds, with nothing sent to a server. For other ways to leave it to chance, try the Random Number Generator, Dice Roller, or Coin Flip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the spin actually random and fair?
Yes. Each spin uses your browser's random number generator to choose a landing point, and every slice on the wheel is the same size, so each entry has an exactly equal chance. Nothing is rigged and nothing is pre-decided.
Can I draw multiple winners without repeats?
Yes — tick "Remove winner after spin" and each chosen entry is taken off the wheel automatically, so the next spin picks from the remaining options. That makes it ideal for raffles, team draws, or assigning tasks.
How many entries can I add?
As many as you like; the wheel divides itself evenly. With a great many entries the slices get thin, but the picker stays fair — every entry keeps an equal share.
Is anything uploaded or saved?
No. The wheel runs entirely in your browser. Your list of entries is never sent anywhere or stored, and it disappears when you close the tab.
How do I use the Wheel Spinner / Random Picker?
Just pick your options. The answer shows up right away — there is no button to press. Change anything and it updates by itself.
Does it cost anything or need an account?
No. The tool is completely free, there is no account to create, and it keeps working offline after the page first loads.
Is anything I type uploaded?
