Spinner Wheel Picker
Animated wheel of names that lands on one.
This is the classic wheel of names: paste your entries, give it a spin, and watch the pointer land on a winner. Teachers, streamers, and party hosts use it to pick volunteers, hand out prizes, or just add a little suspense to a choice. It's free, fast, and light on ads.
Paste. Add your names or options, one per line, to fill the wheel.

Frequently asked questions
Is the wheel rigged?
No. The winning slice is chosen first by a true random pick, then the animation simply rotates to it. The spin is for show; the underlying math is fair.
Can I remove the winner after spinning?
Yes. Turn on "Remove winner" in Options and each name is taken off the wheel once it's been picked, so you can run a clean elimination round.
Are my names stored or shared?
No. The wheel is built and spun entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API, and your names are never sent to any server.
