Wheel Spinner & Random Picker
Spin a wheel to pick a name, a winner or what to eat.
About this wheel spinner & random picker
For picking a name out of a hat when there is no hat: raffles, who goes first, which restaurant, which student answers. Type your entries, spin, and the wheel lands on one at random.
The result is chosen with your browser's cryptographic random source before the animation starts, so the spin is honest — the wheel is showing you a decision already made, not being nudged by where you clicked.
How to use it
- Type your options, one per line.
- Spin the wheel, or press the space bar.
- Switch on 'remove the winner' if you are drawing several without repeats.
- The history panel keeps a record of every result.
Wheel Spinner & Random Picker — FAQ
Is the spin actually random?
Yes. The winner is picked with crypto.getRandomValues before the animation begins, so every entry has an equal chance regardless of the wheel's starting position.
Can I use it for a giveaway?
Yes. Paste your entrant list, switch on remove-the-winner, and draw as many as you need. The history panel gives you a record.
How many entries can it take?
The wheel stays readable up to about fifty. Beyond that the labels get too small, though it still works.
Is my list saved?
It stays in your browser between visits and is never uploaded.
