  3. The winner shows under the wheel; spin again for more.

Good to know

  • Up to around 40 names fit the wheel neatly; more still work but the labels get small.
  • Use Shuffle list to make a random order for presentations or turns.

Questions

Is it really random?

Yes. It uses your browser’s cryptographic random generator (the same one used for passwords), so every result is equally likely and nobody, including us, can predict or fix it.

Can I pick several winners?

Yes. Tick “Remove the winner after each pick” and spin again for the 2nd, 3rd and further winners. Nobody can win twice.

Does it work on a projector or smart board?

Yes. The wheel scales to the screen, so it works well for classrooms and office events.

Is my data private?

Yes. Everything happens inside your own browser: nothing you type or choose is uploaded to us or anyone else.

Is it free?

Completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it. Light ads keep the site running.
