Random Picker Wheel — Spin to Choose a Name
Type one option per line and spin the wheel — or switch modes to draw several names at once without the theatrics. Picks use the browser’s cryptographic random generator with unbiased selection, so every entry has exactly the same chance.

The winner is chosen before the wheel starts moving, using crypto.getRandomValues — the browser’s cryptographic generator — with rejection sampling to remove modulo bias, the subtle flaw where naive random-pick code favors entries earlier in the list. The animation then lands on the chosen segment. That ordering means the spin is presentation, and the math underneath treats every entry identically: 10 names, exactly a 1-in-10 chance each.
Remove the winner, spin again
Running an order-of-turns draw or a raffle with several prizes? Turn on “remove winner after spin” and each winner leaves the wheel before the next spin, so nobody wins twice and the remaining odds redistribute automatically. The option list is editable between spins — pull someone out manually or add a latecomer, and the wheel redraws immediately.
Pick-N mode for quick draws
When you need three raffle winners from two hundred entries, spinning three times is ceremony you may not want. The pick-N mode draws any number of distinct entries in one click using a partial shuffle of the whole list — equivalent to drawing names from a hat without replacement — and lists them in draw order, ready to copy. First place, second place, third place: the order of the output is part of the draw.
Duplicates are weights
The wheel doesn’t deduplicate, and that’s a feature: paste a name twice and it gets two segments — twice the chance. That turns the wheel into a simple weighted picker for cases like “whoever closed the most tickets gets extra entries.” If you want strict equal odds instead, keep each name to one line; the option counter under the list helps you spot accidental repeats.
Frequently asked questions
Is the wheel truly random or can it be rigged?
Picks come from the browser’s cryptographic random source, the same generator used for security keys, with an unbiased selection algorithm on top. There are no hidden weights and no memory between spins — the tool can’t be nudged, and a name that just won is exactly as likely next spin (unless you remove it).
How many options can I add?
There’s no hard cap. The wheel stays readable up to a few dozen segments — labels shrink and truncate as entries grow — while the pick-N mode handles hundreds of entries comfortably and is the better fit for big raffle lists.
Can the same person win twice?
In wheel mode, yes by default — each spin is independent. Enable “remove winner after spin” for no-repeat draws. Pick-N mode never repeats within one draw: it selects distinct entries, like pulling names from a hat without putting them back.
Does the spin animation affect the result?
No — the winner is decided the instant you click, and the wheel animates to that predetermined segment. The suspense is real for the audience but cosmetic to the math, which is what makes the pick both fair and fun to watch.
Is my list saved or shared anywhere?
No. The list lives only on your screen — nothing is uploaded or stored, and reloading the page clears it. Copy the winners out before you close the tab if you need a record.
