Wheel of Names

Add your names, spin the wheel and get a fair random pick in seconds. A name wheel places each name on a slice of a spinning wheel and stops on one at random. Use it to choose a winner, pick a student, assign a turn or settle who goes first. It’s free and ready to use.

How to Use the Random Name Wheel

1. Type or paste your names into the list.
2. Check that every name appears on the wheel.
3. Press Spin.
4. The wheel stops on one name. That’s your pick.

How to Pick Multiple Winners

Spin the wheel, note the winner, then remove that name from the list and spin again. Repeat until you have all your winners. Removing each winner stops the same person from being picked twice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it fair?

When each name appears once, every name has an equal chance, and every spin is picked randomly.

Can I use it for a giveaway?

Yes, you can use it to choose a winner from your entrants. Check the rules of the platform where you run the giveaway, and any local contest rules.

Can I give one name a bigger chance?

Add that name more than once. Each entry takes its own slice, so the name gets a larger share of the wheel.
