Random Name Picker Wheel
Enter your names and spin the wheel to pick one at random. The random name picker is fair, works for classrooms, giveaways and team draws, and can remove each winner so nobody is picked twice.
- Spin the wheel
- Fair random draw
- Remove winner
- No sign-up
How to use
- Type or paste your names, one on each line.
- Press Spin (or click the wheel). The wheel slows down and stops on the winner.
- Press Remove winner to take that name off and spin again for the next one.
- Your list is remembered in this browser so you can come back to it.
Is the wheel fair?
Yes. The winner is chosen first with a secure random number generator, and the wheel is then animated to land on that name. Every name has the same chance, and the animation cannot change the result.
Ideas for use
Pick a student to answer, draw a giveaway winner, decide who goes first in a game, or choose who buys lunch. For numbers use the random number generator, and for games try the dice roller.
Frequently asked questions
Is the random name picker fair?
Yes. Each name has an equal chance. The result comes from a cryptographically secure random number.
Can I pick more than one winner?
Yes. Use Remove winner after each spin, then spin again.
Are my names uploaded?
No. The list stays in your browser. It is saved only on your own device so it is still there next time.
How many names can I add?
Dozens work well. With a very long list the labels become small, but the draw still works.
