Quick answer
Add your names, one per line, then spin the wheel to pick one at random. It works well for classrooms, giveaways, and deciding who goes first. You can remove the winner after each spin to avoid repeats. Everything runs in your browser, so your list isn't uploaded and no account is needed.
Random Name Picker Wheel
Press Spin to pick a name.
Add names to the list (one per line), press Spin, and the wheel lands on a random winner. You can remove each winner and spin again to draw several people in a row, or shuffle the whole list to create a random order. Teachers use it to pick students, streamers use it for giveaways, and friends use it to decide who pays for coffee.
How the name picker wheel works
When you spin, the winner is chosen first with a secure random number, then the wheel animates to that slice. Every name has exactly the same chance of being picked, no matter where it sits on the wheel or how long the name is.
Ideas for using a name wheel
Classrooms: pick who answers next, or randomise presentation order. Giveaways and raffles: paste entrant names and record the spin for transparency. Teams: remove each pick to draft players into teams one at a time. Decisions: add options instead of names, such as restaurants, chores or films, and let the wheel decide.
Ways to use a name picker wheel
Teachers use it to call on students fairly, or to pick groups and helpers. Teams use it to pick who presents first or to settle a lunch debate. It also works well for choosing a raffle winner in front of everyone, because people can watch the spin. For a name that your team can't agree on, shortlist the options and spin. Nobody can argue with the wheel.
