Free, private, no sign-up

Was this tool helpful?

Type or paste names or options, one per line.
Press Spin. The winner is picked fairly before the wheel starts turning.
Use Remove winner to draw again without them, or Make teams to split the list.

Is the wheel really random?

Yes. The winner comes from your browser's secure random generator, and every entry has the same chance. The spin is just for show.

How do I share my wheel?

Copy the page link. Your list is stored after the # in the link, a part browsers never send to a server. Very long lists are too big for a link.

Can I turn off the spinning animation?

If your device is set to reduce motion, the wheel stops straight away.
