How to use Spin the Wheel & Random Picker
- Type or paste your entries, one per line. Add *2 or *3 after a name to make it more likely, or shuffle, sort and clear the list.
- Select SPIN. The wheel slows down and stops on a fairly chosen entry; choose Remove winner to take turns without repeats, and adjust the spin time. Expand the editor for a full-screen classroom or stream view.
- Use Teams to split the same list into balanced random teams, or Coin & dice to flip a coin or roll up to ten dice.
What are the limits of Spin the Wheel & Random Picker?
Picks use your browser's cryptographic random number generator, so every spin is independent and weighted entries are exactly as likely as their weights. The animation only shows the result that was already chosen. Lists stay in your browser. For official lotteries or prize draws, follow the rules that apply to you.
