Spin the Wheel is a free random name picker. Type your names, prizes or options — one per line — and spin. The wheel slows down and lands on one entry, chosen at random. It is perfect for giveaways, classroom questions, team draws and settling “what should we eat?” debates.
More about Spin the Wheel – Random Name PickerHow to use, good to know & FAQ
Yes or no wheel, coin toss and random numbers
Use the Quick wheel row to load a ready-made wheel: Yes or No for quick decisions, Heads or Tails as a coin flip, 1 to 10 as a random number picker, or Dice 1–6. Or paste your own list of names to use it as a random name picker for giveaways and classrooms.
Each winner is chosen with your browser’s built-in cryptographic random number generator before the animation starts, so every entry has exactly the same chance. Your list is saved in this browser only, so it is still there next time you visit.
How to use Spin the Wheel
- Type or paste your entries in the box, one per line (up to 200).
- Press Spin the wheel, click the wheel or tap the SPIN button in the middle.
- Read the winner below the wheel. Tick Remove the winner after each spin to draw several different winners.
Good to know
- Every entry gets an equal slice, so each one has an equal chance of being picked.
- Add the same name twice to give it a double chance (for example, two raffle tickets).
- Use Shuffle to mix the order and Sort A–Z to tidy it — order never changes the odds.
- The last 10 winners are listed so you can show the result or keep a record.
- Nothing is uploaded — the list stays on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is the spin the wheel tool really random?
Yes. The winner is picked with crypto.getRandomValues(), the same cryptographically strong random generator browsers use for security, and the wheel is then animated to land on that entry. Every slice has the same chance.
How do I pick several winners without repeats?
Tick Remove the winner after each spin. After each spin the winning entry is removed from the list, so the next spin picks from the people who are left.
Can I use it for an Instagram or Facebook giveaway?
Yes. Paste the usernames of everyone who entered, share your screen or record the spin, and announce the result. Follow the platform’s promotion rules and state your giveaway terms clearly before you draw.
Will my entries be saved?
Your list is stored in your own browser (local storage) so it is there when you come back. It is never sent to our server. Press Clear to remove it.
