How to use it
A clear, quick workflow
- Enter one option per line and prepare the wheel.
- Choose whether winners remain eligible, then spin.
- Copy the announced winner or reset eligibility after all entries are picked.
Random Name Picker & Spinning Wheel
Spin a wheel to make a clear, fair selection from names.
Add entries to prepare the wheel.
Duplicate names are kept as separate entries.
Example
Without replacement, a selected participant is hatched and crossed out on the wheel, then excluded from later spins until picks are reset.
Limits and behavior
Up to 200 entries of 80 characters are supported. Web Crypto selects the result before animation; the pointer animation cannot change the winner and is removed for reduced-motion users. Switching to with-replacement restores every original entry, including duplicate names, for future spins.
FAQ
Does the animation decide the winner?
No. The winner is selected first with unbiased Web Crypto sampling, and the wheel then rotates to that already selected entry.
