About this tool
This spinner wheel is a 'wheel of names': paste in a list of entries, give it a spin, and it lands on one random winner. Each name becomes a slice of the wheel, and the pointer stops on a single pick chosen fairly by your browser's cryptographic random number generator. It is perfect for running giveaways, picking a raffle winner, choosing who goes first, or settling group decisions like where to eat. Add or edit entries any time and spin again as often as you need.
Frequently asked questions
Is the winner genuinely random, or can the spin be rigged?
The winner is genuinely random. The tool picks the result using your browser's cryptographic random number generator, so every entry has exactly the same chance regardless of where its slice sits on the wheel or how long the animation runs. The spinning motion is just a visual flourish — the actual pick is already decided fairly. Nothing is weighted, and no entry is favored over another.
What can I use the spinner wheel for?
Almost any time you need to pick one option at random. Creators run social-media giveaways with it, teachers use it to call on students, and teams let it choose who presents first or who grabs the last seat. It also settles everyday dilemmas — what to cook, which film to watch, or where the group goes for lunch — turning an awkward debate into a quick, impartial spin.
Do my entries stay private?
Yes. The list you paste in stays in your browser — the wheel is built and spun with local JavaScript, and no names are sent to or saved on a server. Because everything runs on your device, it keeps working offline and your participants, prize entries or classroom rosters never leave your computer. Close the tab and the list is gone unless you saved it yourself.
