What is the Spin the Wheel — Random Wheel Picker?
The Random Wheel Picker turns any list into a colorful spinning wheel. Enter your options in the “Wheel entries” box, one per line, and press Generate. The wheel spins and lands on a single winner, shown together with how many entries it was picked from — for example “Sushi (picked from 8 entries)”. The default list is a set of dinner ideas, but you can replace it with names, prizes, chores, movie titles or anything else.
Every entry has exactly the same chance of being selected. The winner is chosen by your browser’s Web Crypto API before the animation starts, so the spin is purely visual and cannot be nudged or timed. Blank lines are ignored, the wheel needs at least two entries, and it accepts up to 40 so every slice stays readable.
Nothing you type is uploaded or stored. Your settings can be shared through a link, so a teacher or streamer can post the same wheel for everyone to see, and you can export results as text, CSV or JSON.

Tips for a fair and fun spin
Want one option to be more likely? List it twice — each line is its own slice, so duplicates double the odds. For a strictly fair draw, remove repeats first. If you are running a giveaway, decide the rules before you spin, keep the list visible on screen and spin once; re-spinning until you like the answer defeats the purpose.
For several winners in a row, spin, note the winner, delete that line and spin again. That way nobody can win twice. Ready? Press Generate again for a fresh spin — it’s free and unlimited.
Frequently asked questions
Is the spin the wheel picker really random?
Yes. The winner is chosen with the Web Crypto API in your browser, and every entry has an equal chance. The animation simply shows the result.
How many entries can I put on the wheel?
You need at least 2 entries and can add up to 40, one per line.
Can I make one option more likely to win?
Yes — add it on more than one line. Each line is a separate slice, so two copies double its chance.
Can I share my wheel with others?
Yes. Your entries are saved in a shareable link, so anyone who opens it sees the same wheel and can spin it too.
