  2. 2Press Spin or click the wheel itself.
  3. 3Watch the wheel slow down; the entry under the pointer at the top is the winner.
  4. 4Tick Remove winner after each spin to draw several winners without repeats, and use Shuffle or Sort A–Z to rearrange the list.

A fair wheel spinner for any decision

Who goes first? Which restaurant tonight? Who wins the raffle? A spinning wheel turns any choice into a quick, visible and fair draw that everyone can watch. Type your options, press spin and the wheel picks one at random. It's perfect for classrooms, giveaways, team meetings, games and everyday indecision, and it works on any phone, tablet or computer without an account.

Features

  • Your own entries — names, prizes, chores, questions or anything else, one per line.
  • Truly fair results using cryptographically secure randomness.
  • Remove the winner automatically to draw multiple winners without repeats.
  • Shuffle and sort the list with one click.
  • Spin history of the last 20 results.
  • Up to 200 entries, with labels that resize to fit.
  • Reduced motion support — if your device asks for less animation, the wheel stops almost instantly.

Ideas for using the wheel

  • Classroom: pick a student to answer, choose groups, select the next topic or reward.
  • Giveaways and raffles: paste participants' names and spin live on stream or in a video call.
  • Team meetings: choose who presents first or who runs the next stand-up.
  • Games and parties: truth or dare, forfeits, charades topics, drinking games.
  • Everyday decisions: what to eat, what to watch, which chore to do first.
  • Learning: vocabulary words, quiz questions or practice problems at random.

Tips

  • Weighted chances: list an entry several times to make it more likely to win.
  • Running a contest? Tell participants how winners are chosen and keep a record — the history list helps.
  • Large groups: for many names, the Random Number Generator can pick numbered tickets instead.
  • Two options only? A coin flip is quicker, and the Dice Roller is ideal for board games.

How fairness works

Many online wheels determine the winner from the physics of the animation, which can be influenced by timing. Here, the winner is drawn first with unbiased random numbers, and only then is the wheel rotated so the pointer lands on that entry. Every entry has an equal probability of 1 in N, where N is the number of entries.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wheel really random?
Yes. The winner is chosen with your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator before the animation starts, and every entry has exactly the same chance. The spin animation is then calculated to stop on that entry, so the speed or length of the spin has no influence on the result.
How many entries can I add?
Up to 200. With many entries the labels get smaller and long names are shortened on the wheel, but the full name is always shown as the result.
Can I give an entry a higher chance of winning?
Add it more than once. An entry that appears twice is twice as likely to be picked. When Remove winner is ticked, only one copy is removed per win.
How do I pick several winners without repeats?
Tick Remove winner after each spin, then spin as many times as you need. Each winner is removed from the list, and the last 20 results are shown in the history.
Are my entries saved or sent anywhere?
No. The list exists only in this browser tab and is never uploaded. Copy it somewhere if you want to reuse it later.
