Spin the Wheel

Free Online Spin the Wheel Random Picker

This free spin the wheel tool is a random picker that works fully in your browser. Type or paste a list of names, prizes, tasks, or any options, then spin. The wheel picks one entry at random, and you can keep going until everyone or every prize has been chosen. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and your list never leaves your device.

Why AI Cannot Replace This Tool

A chatbot can suggest options or roll a mental coin, but it cannot produce a real spinning wheel with animation, sound, and a visible pointer. When you need a selection that a classroom, a giveaway audience, or a team can actually watch and trust, you need a working wheel. This tool gives you the full experience with fair odds, weights, and a history log, all in the browser.

How to Use

Type one option per line in the box, or pick an example from the dropdown, then click Update Wheel. The wheel redraws automatically. Click Spin (or the wheel itself, or press the Spacebar) to spin. When the wheel stops, the winner lights up in the result box. If Remove winners is on, the winner is taken off the wheel so nobody can win twice. Use Reset to bring all options back, and Export CSV to save the whole history.

You can give some entries a higher chance by adding a weight. Write a comma then a number, for example Alice, 3 makes Alice three times as likely to win. Weights let a raffle holder give repeat buyers more tickets, or let a teacher give a struggling student an extra chance. The wheel reads the weights and builds segments with the right proportions.

Why It Is Fair

The winner is chosen with crypto.getRandomValues(), the same cryptographically secure random source browsers use for security. Every full rotation, every segment size, and every weight is taken into account before the wheel animates to its stop position. The spin is visual, but the result is decided fairly by the browser's random number generator, not by how hard you click.

Use Cases

Teachers use it to pick students for questions or presentations without leaving anyone out. Event organizers use it for prize draws and giveaways, with the winner removal feature so every prize goes to a different person. Teams use it to choose who presents first or who goes next, and friends use it for dinner, movie night, or chores. Streamers and quiz hosts use the on-screen wheel to keep viewers engaged because the result is visible and easy to trust.

The tool also works as a decision maker. Put Yes, No, and Maybe on the wheel, add weight to whatever answer you secretly want, and let the wheel take the blame. For bigger decisions, put the actual options on the wheel and see which one your gut agrees with when it lands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is spin the wheel free?

Yes. The tool is completely free with no signup, no watermarks, and no limits on how many times you spin or how many options you add.

How many options can I put on the wheel?

There is no hard limit. For very long lists the wheel draws segments as clearly as it can and still gives every entry an equal chance. For the clearest view, keep lists under about 30 options.

How do I stop someone winning twice?

Turn on Remove winners. After a spin, the winning entry is removed from the wheel, so each spin picks from the people or prizes that have not won yet.

Can I make some options more likely to win?

Yes. Write the option, a comma, then a number, like Bob, 3. The number is the weight, so Bob is three times as likely to win as an option with weight 1.

Is my list shared with anyone?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored on a server, or shared. Your list is private unless you choose to save a share link in your own browser history.

Can I save or share a wheel?

Yes. Click Copy Share Link and the current list is packed into the URL. Send the link to someone and the wheel opens ready to spin with the same options.
