Example result

What this wheel of fortune shows you

Enter names or options, and the wheel divides into equal or weighted segments. One spin picks exactly one winner. You'll also see each entry's chance of winning as a percentage. Three worked examples:

Example 1: Four names, equal chances

Input: Anna, Ben, Chris, Dana

Result

AnnaAnnaBenBenDanaDanaChrisChris

Winner: Chris

Chances of the four entries in example 1
EntryWeightChanceShare of the wheel
Anna125 %90°
Ben125 %90°
ChrisWinner125 %90°
Dana125 %90°

With four entries of equal weight, each has exactly a 25 % chance, and each segment spans 90°. Every spin is independent: a previous winner still has a 25 % chance on the next spin.

Example 2: Weighting with “*2”

Input: Pizza *2, Pasta, Salat

Result

PastaPastaSalatSalatPizzaPizza

Winner: Pizza

Chances of the three weighted entries in example 2
EntryWeightChanceShare of the wheel
PizzaWinner250 %180°
Pasta125 %90°
Salat125 %90°

With “*2”, Pizza counts twice. The weights add up to 4, so Pizza has a 2 in 4 = 50% chance and a 180° segment; Pasta and Salad each have 25%.

Example 3: Remove winners before the next draw

Input: Anna, Ben, Chris, Dana

Result

After “Remove winner” (Chris is out), 3 entries remain, each with a 33.3% chance:

  • Anna
  • Ben
  • Dana

How to draw multiple winners one after another: Each winner leaves the wheel, increasing the remaining participants’ chances. The history records the order of the draws.

How it works

Create and spin a wheel

Four steps from list to winner, with no account or download.

Step 1

Enter entries

Enter one name or option per line, or use a preset such as “Who goes first?” or “Yes or No?”. An entry like “Pizza *2” has twice the chance.

Step 2

Choose colors and duration

Choose a color scheme and a rotation time of 3, 5, or 8 seconds. The “High Contrast” scheme is also easy to read for people with color vision deficiency.

Step 3

Spin the wheel

Click “Spin wheel,” click the wheel itself, or press the spacebar. The winner is determined before the wheel spins; the animation just reveals the result.

Step 4

Remove winners or share your wheel

Use “Remove winner” to draw the next winner and “Copy history” to copy the results as a list. Use “Copy share link” to send your wheel to others.

Features

What makes this online spin wheel stand out

Fair results you can verify, with visible chances and a history you can copy.

Fair draws with Web Crypto

The winner is selected by your browser's random number generator before the wheel spins. When you click and how long the wheel spins don't affect the result.

Weighted entries with percentage chances

With “Name *3”, an entry has three times the chance of an unweighted entry. The “Chance per entry” list shows each chance as a percentage, and the wheel segments adjust accordingly.

History as a record

Every winner appears in the history, newest first. Use “Copy history” to copy the results as a numbered list—for example, as a record of a giveaway.

Accessible and mobile-friendly

The “High Contrast” color scheme is color-blind-friendly. With “Reduce Motion,” the wheel jumps straight to the result, and screen readers announce the winner. On your phone, just tap the wheel.

Use cases

What you can use the random wheel for

From picking a game-night activity to drawing a giveaway winner.

Who goes first?

Enter the players’ names and let the wheel decide who starts the game or takes the first turn. Use “Remove winner” to determine the full order.

Which game are we playing?

Instead of debating endlessly, load the preset with popular games, adapt the list to your game night, and spin. Let the wheel decide.

Decide yes or no

Load the “Yes or No?” preset and spin: Both answers have a 50% chance. To make one answer more likely, give it a higher weight, such as “Yes *2”.

Giveaways and prize draws

Enter all participants, spin the wheel, and copy the history as a record of the draw. Weights let you give active members more entries, for example.

Classes, meetings, and everyday life

Who presents, who reads aloud, who picks up the pizza? Add students, colleagues, or friends and let the wheel decide. With “Remove winner,” everyone gets just one turn.

Tasks, teams, and quizzes

Assign tasks, choose team captains, or draw quiz questions. The wheel holds up to 50 entries; use the team generator to split people into teams.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the spin wheel

Quick answers about the spin wheel: fair draws, weighting, yes-or-no decisions, and giveaways.

Enter names or options in the input field, one per line. The wheel immediately divides into matching segments. Once you have at least two entries, start a spin with “Spin the wheel”, by clicking or tapping the wheel, or by pressing the space bar. The pointer at the top indicates the winner, who also appears as text below the wheel. If you’ve enabled “Reduce motion” in your system settings, the wheel jumps straight to the result without an animation.

Yes. The spin wheel is free and runs directly in your browser, even on your phone. No sign-up, app, or download is needed. All features are free: weighting, removing winners, history, color schemes, and a shareable link. Your entries are not uploaded. Your browser stores only your most recent entries, color scheme, and spin duration locally. The spin history disappears when you reload the page.

Enter names in the input field, one per line, or on a single line separated by commas or semicolons, such as “Anna, Ben, Chris”. The wheel supports up to 50 entries of up to 60 characters each, including numbers or letters. Long names are shortened with “…” on the wheel but shown in full in the result. Choose one of five color schemes and a spin duration of 3, 5, or 8 seconds, or start with a preset such as “Who goes first?”. Use “Copy share link” to send your wheel, including its weights and color scheme, to others. If the list is too long to share this way, the tool will let you know.

Yes. Load the “Yes or No?” preset to put those two options on the wheel, each with a 50% chance. To make one answer more likely, give it a higher weight, such as “Yes *2”.

The draw is fair. The winner is selected by your browser's random number generator (Web Crypto, crypto.getRandomValues), without rounding bias. The winner is determined before the wheel spins; the animation simply stops on the selected segment. When you click and how long the wheel spins don't change the result, and each spin is independent of previous ones. With four unweighted entries, each has exactly a 25% chance.

Yes, add an asterisk and a number from 1 to 100 after an entry, for example, “Pizza *2.” An entry's chance is its weight divided by the sum of all weights. With “Pizza *2, Pasta, Salad,” the total weight is 4: Pizza has a 50% chance, while Pasta and Salad each have a 25% chance. Its segment on the wheel is correspondingly larger. You can see all percentages under “Chance per entry.”

After a spin, click “Remove winner”. The entry disappears from the wheel, so you can spin again right away. The remaining entries’ chances increase. Winners appear in the history; use “Copy history” to copy their order as a list. If you want someone to be able to win more than once, just keep spinning without removing them—each spin is independent.

Yes, the wheel works well for giveaways on Discord servers, streams, and communities. Enter all participants, spin it in front of your audience or while sharing your screen, and copy the history as a record. For public giveaways, follow the platform's rules (such as Instagram's or YouTube's) and the applicable rules in your country. This tool does not replace giveaway terms and conditions.
