How to use the wheel spinner
- Type your entries, one per line — names, options, prizes, chores, anything.
- Click Spin (or click the wheel) and watch it land on a random winner.
- Turn on "Remove winner after spin" to draw without repeats — great for raffles and giveaways.
What people use a spinner wheel for
A random wheel takes the argument out of decisions. Teachers use it to call on students fairly, streamers and brands use it to draw giveaway winners on camera, teams use it to assign tasks, and households use it to settle "where do we eat?" Because every entry gets an equal slice, the pick feels fair and is fun to watch — which is exactly why spinner wheels get shared.
Benefits
- Add your own entries and spin for a genuinely random, equal-chance winner.
- Great for giveaways, classroom picks, team tasks and everyday decisions.
- “Remove winner after spin” lets you draw without repeats.
- Runs in your browser — fun to share on screen, with nothing saved or uploaded.
Limitations to know
- With a very large number of entries the slice labels get small.
- Entries are not saved between visits — paste your list back in next time.
- It picks one winner per spin, not a ranked list.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Adding blank lines and wondering why an empty slice appears (blank lines are ignored).
- Forgetting to enable “remove winner” for a no-repeat raffle draw.
- Expecting the list to still be there after closing the tab.
Alternatives
To pick a number instead of a name, use the Random Number Generator; for random handle ideas, the Username Generator.

Frequently asked questions
Is the result truly random?
Yes — the winning slice is chosen with your browser's random number generator, and every entry has an equal chance.
How many entries can I add?
As many as you like. With very many entries the labels get small, but the draw still works.
Can I do a draw without repeats?
Yes — tick "Remove winner after spin" and each winner is removed so the next spin picks someone new.
Is anything saved or uploaded?
No — the wheel runs entirely in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
