Spin the wheel to pick a winner

Yes. You can add entries, adjust the available wheel settings, spin repeatedly, remove selected winners, and save or share supported configurations without signing up. The wheel is suitable for games, classroom prompts, meeting order, practice choices, and informal drawings. Before using it for a consequential giveaway or allocation, define the rules, entry list, duplicate policy, winner-removal behavior, and audit method in advance so every participant understands what the spin does and does not decide.

The winner is selected using an unbiased random choice from the current entries, then the animation lands on that preselected result. Every occurrence in the list is an entry, so duplicate names receive multiple chances unless duplicates are removed. Random does not mean outcomes will alternate evenly or avoid recent winners. Clusters and repeats are normal. For a fair session, freeze the entry list and settings before starting, show the list when appropriate, and avoid changing rules after seeing an outcome.

You can add a practical list of options directly in the editor. Very large lists become harder to inspect, verify, and display clearly even when they can still be entered. Remove blank lines, check spelling, and decide whether repeated text represents extra weight or an accidental duplicate. For formal drawings, keep a separate source list, count eligible entries, and reconcile it with the wheel before spinning. Splitting unrelated categories into separate wheels can also make the result easier to understand.

Yes. Enable or use the winner-removal control after a spin when each entry should be selected only once. If duplicate labels exist, removing the selected occurrence does not necessarily remove every identical line, so decide whether duplicates are intentional. For activities where the same option may win again, leave it in the wheel. State the rule before the first spin and keep it consistent, because changing removal behavior partway through changes the probability of later outcomes.

It can support an informal giveaway when the entry list and rules are transparent, but the organizer remains responsible for eligibility, duplicate handling, required records, local promotion rules, and communicating results. A visible animation is not by itself an independent audit trail or legal certification. For high-value or regulated drawings, preserve the final eligible list, document settings and timing, use an appropriate supervised method, and verify whether local rules require disclosures, witnesses, approvals, or a different selection system.

Review every entry, remove blanks and accidental duplicates, confirm whether repeated entries are intended as extra weight, and choose whether winners remain eligible after a spin. Check the displayed winner against the pointer and history before announcing it. For group use, explain what a spin decides, what happens after a result, and how ties or invalid entries are handled. If the page was refreshed or a saved configuration was loaded, verify the current list and settings again before continuing the session.
