About the Spin the Wheel
Can't decide what to eat, who goes next or who wins the giveaway? Type your options into the list, one per line, and spin the wheel. It spins several times and eases to a stop on a random entry, then announces the winner. You can remove each winner automatically to draw names one by one without repeats.

How the wheel picks a winner
When you press Spin, the winner is chosen first using your browser's secure random number generator, giving every entry an equal chance regardless of the length of its name. The wheel then calculates exactly how far to turn so that the chosen slice stops under the pointer, adding several full turns and a random stopping point inside the slice so that every spin looks different.
Ideas for using a wheel spinner
Teachers use name wheels to pick students fairly, streamers and shops run giveaways with them, and friends use them to decide on restaurants, films or chores. Turn on "Remove the winner after each spin" to draw a running order, split people into teams, or pick several prize winners without anyone winning twice.
