Paste your names, spin the wheel, get a fair winner. Remove the winner and spin again for the next prize.
Clear out the example names with the × on each tag, then add your own. The fastest way is to paste a whole list at once: type or paste names separated by commas — like Mia, Noah, Ava, Leo, Sofia — and hit Add. Every name lands on the wheel as its own slice. Tap SPIN! and the wheel picks one name completely at random; every name has an exactly equal chance regardless of where it sits.
Running a raffle with first, second, and third prizes? When the winner pops up, tap ✂️ Remove & respin in the result box — the picked name leaves the wheel and the next spin starts automatically, so a multi-prize draw takes seconds and nobody can win twice. The same trick turns the wheel into a turn-taker: keep removing picked names until everyone has had their go, then refresh to reload.
Teachers use it to call on students fairly — when the wheel picks, it's never "you always choose her," and the suspense of the spin keeps the class watching. Giveaway hosts use it to draw winners transparently: spin it on camera or on a screen share and the audience sees the draw happen live. Households use it for chores ("the wheel says it's your dishes week"), game nights use it for who goes first, and offices use it for who presents, who picks lunch, or who gets the good desk. Any time a human choosing would feel unfair — or just slow — the wheel does it instantly and impartially.
A hat draw is private — only the person drawing sees it happen, which is exactly why it gets second-guessed. A spinning wheel is the opposite: everyone watches the same spin, the result lands in public, and the browser's random number generator is doing the picking, not a hand that might recognise a folded slip. It's the difference between asking people to trust you and showing them.
Splitting people into groups rather than picking one? Use the Team Shuffler. Numbered tickets instead of names? Draw with the Random Number Generator. And for decisions rather than people, the all-purpose Spin the Wheel takes any options you type. Teachers: our guide on picking students fairly shows how to save your class list as a link and reuse it every day.
How do I add a whole list of names at once?
Paste them into the box separated by commas — "Mia, Noah, Ava, Leo" — and hit Add. Every name lands on the wheel instantly, so a class register or giveaway list takes seconds.
Is the pick truly random and fair?
Yes. Each spin uses your browser's random number generator and every name has an exactly equal chance, no matter where it sits on the wheel.
Can I pick more than one winner?
Yes — after a spin, tap "Remove winner & spin again" and the chosen name leaves the wheel before the next spin. Repeat to draw second and third place, or to take turns until everyone has been picked.
