Pick a random winner with a spin
Whether you're choosing who goes first, drawing a giveaway winner, picking a student to answer or deciding what's for dinner, a spinning wheel makes it fun and visibly fair. Type your entries, press SPIN and let the wheel decide.
Ideas for using the wheel
| Use | Example entries |
|---|---|
| Classroom | Student names, quiz topics, reward prizes |
| Giveaways | Entrants' usernames or ticket numbers |
| Team meetings | Who presents first, icebreaker questions |
| Decisions | Restaurants, movies, weekend plans |
| Games | Truth or dare, forfeits, party challenges |

Tips for fair draws
- One line per entry. Blank lines are ignored.
- Remove duplicates unless you want someone to have extra chances.
- Record the result with a screenshot for public giveaways.
- Use "remove winners" to draw 1st, 2nd and 3rd place without repeats.
How the probability works
With 8 entries, each has a 1 in 8 (12.5%) chance per spin. Results are independent: the same name can come up twice in a row, just as a die can roll two sixes.
| Entries | Chance per spin |
|---|---|
| 2 | 50% |
| 5 | 20% |
| 10 | 10% |
| 25 | 4% |
| 100 | 1% |
