Random Name Picker Wheel
Add names, spin the wheel, get a random winner
0 / 500
Enter any list of names — participants in a raffle, students in a class, teams in a draw — and spin the wheel to pick a winner at random. Add up to 500 names at once.
The winner is selected using a truly random method — the same level of randomness used in security software — so every spin is genuinely fair. Use “Remove Winner & Spin Again” to run elimination rounds, or “Reset” to restore the full list and start over. Nothing is saved — closing the tab clears everything.
How to Use
- 1Type or paste your list of names into the box — one name per line, up to 500 names.
- 2Click Update Wheel to load your names onto the spinning wheel, then hit Spin.
- 3The wheel slows to a stop and zooms in on the winner — use ‘Remove Winner & Spin Again’ for elimination rounds.
