Random Name Picker Wheel
Result History
Type your names, spin the wheel and let chance pick the winner. This random name picker is a quick, fair way to choose a person for a giveaway, a classroom turn or any group decision.
How to use it
- Enter one name per line in the box.
- Click Spin the Wheel.
- The wheel slows down and the winner is shown. Tick "Remove the winner from the list on the next spin" if you want to pick several people in a row without repeats. The winner stays visible on the wheel until you spin again.
Is it fair?
Yes. The winner is chosen from all names with equal probability. The wheel is only an animation that lands on the chosen name; it does not decide the result. Your name list is stored only in your own browser, so you can come back later and keep using it.
Good for
- Giveaways and raffles.
- Choosing which student answers next.
- Deciding who presents, who pays or who goes first.
