How to pick a random winner
- Paste your list of names or entries, one per line (commas work too).
- Press Spin the wheel for suspense, great on a projector or livestream, or Draw instantly to pick several winners at once.
- In one draw, each entry can only win once.
Is it fair?
Yes. Picks use crypto.getRandomValues, your browser’s cryptographically secure random generator, with no bias toward any position in the list. Nobody, including us, can influence the result.
Ideas
- Instagram, YouTube and TikTok giveaways
- Choosing a student to answer, or random groups
- Secret Santa order, team captains, or what to eat for dinner

Frequently asked questions
How many names can I add?
As many as you like for the draw. The wheel shows up to 40 so the labels stay readable.
Can the same name win twice?
Not in one draw. To give someone extra chances, enter their name more than once.
Are my names saved?
No. The list stays in your browser and disappears when you close the page.
