A prize wheel for draws and random picks
When you need a pick that's fair and fun at the same time, a spinning wheel is perfect. Creators use it to choose giveaway winners on Instagram and TikTok, teachers to pick who answers next, friends to decide who pays or where to eat, and companies to hand out prizes at events.
How to use it
- Type names or options in the box, one per line — or paste a whole list.
- Click “Spin the wheel” and watch it slow down and land on the winner.
- Tick “Remove winner after each spin” when drawing several winners without repeats.
- Your list is saved on your device for next time.
Is it really fair?
Yes. The winner is chosen before the spin using your browser's cryptographically secure random generator (crypto.getRandomValues), giving every entry exactly equal odds. The stopping angle is then calculated so the wheel lands on the winner with a natural slowdown. Nobody can influence the result.
Ideas for using the wheel
- Giveaways: paste commenters' names and screen-record the spin to show transparency to followers.
- Classrooms: pick a student, form groups or set presentation order.
- Everyday decisions: what's for dinner? which movie? who goes first?
- Teams: choose who runs the meeting or takes a recurring task.

Is the pick really fair?
We use the browser's cryptographically secure random generator crypto.getRandomValues — the same one used in security software — instead of the simpler Math.random. Every name on the wheel has exactly the same chance, and nobody can predict or influence the result.
Tips for transparent giveaways
- Announce the rules first: who can enter, the closing time and how many winners.
- Clean the list: remove duplicate names with Line Tools so nobody gets a double chance.
- Record or stream it: capturing the spin with the Screen Recorder builds trust with followers.
- Remove each winner when drawing several prizes so the same person can't win twice.
Everyday ideas
Choosing who goes first in a game, assigning chores, picking a student to answer in class — even settling dinner when the family can't agree!
