Wheel style
Paste in your list, hit spin, and the wheel picks one name at random — with the drama of a slow-down finish instead of an instant, anticlimactic answer. It's the fairest fun way to choose a winner, a volunteer, or who goes first.
Every result comes from cryptographically secure randomness, and the two-phase spin animation always lands on the honestly chosen winner: the wheel doesn't "steer" toward anyone. Weight entries to give someone extra chances (raffle tickets, bonus entries), turn on auto-remove to draw a sequence of winners without repeats, and switch styles to match the moment.
Your list stays on your device — nothing is uploaded, and the wheel remembers your names for next time. Add names one by one, or paste a whole spreadsheet column at once.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add a lot of names at once?
Click "Bulk add" and paste your list — one name per line, or separated by commas. A pasted spreadsheet column works perfectly.
Is the picker really random?
Yes. The winner is chosen with crypto.getRandomValues — cryptographically secure randomness — not a predictable shortcut. The spin animation then lands on that honestly chosen winner.
Can I remove a winner after each spin?
Yes — turn on "Auto-remove winner" and each winner leaves the wheel when you close the winner card, so nobody wins twice.
Do you store my names?
No. Names live in your browser's local storage on your device only. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Can some names have better odds?
Yes — set a weight next to any name. A weight of 2 gives that name twice the chance (and twice the wedge size) of a weight-1 name.
