Frequently asked questions
Is the wheel actually fair, or does the animation decide?
Fair by construction: the winner is drawn with crypto.getRandomValues the moment you click spin, and the animation is choreographed to land there. Every entry has an identical chance regardless of slice position or spin length.
Can the same entry win twice?
By default yes — each spin is independent. Enable 'remove winner after each spin' for raffle-style draws where each entry can win once; the wheel redraws without the winner.
How many entries can the wheel hold?
Dozens work fine — labels shrink as slices multiply and truncate past ~16 characters. For very large pools (hundreds), the random name picker on this site is the more readable tool for the same fair draw.
Can I weight certain entries to win more often?
Not with a setting — but adding an entry multiple lines gives it proportionally more slices and therefore more chances, which is the transparent version of weighting.
About this tool
The wheel spinner turns any list into a colorful spinning prize wheel: type entries one per line, spin, and watch the pointer land on a winner after a satisfying deceleration. Under the animation the selection is genuinely fair — the winning slice is chosen with the Web Crypto API before the wheel starts moving, so every entry has exactly equal odds and the spin is pure theater. An optional remove-winner mode takes each result off the wheel, perfect for raffles with multiple prizes or working through a list without repeats. Classroom cold-calls, giveaway draws, dinner decisions, chore assignments: anything a group needs decided visibly and fairly.
Like everything on UtilityBase, the wheel spinner runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded or stored on a server. It's free to use with no account required. Browse more generators here.
