About Wheel of Names

Wheel of Names turns a plain list into a spinning wheel that lands on one name at random. Paste one name per line — a class roster for cold-calling, a raffle or giveaway entry list, a standup speaking-order draw, or a chore-assignment list — and spin. Whoever the wheel lands on is the winner.

A Shuffle button randomizes the order of the list before you spin, and a "Remove winner after spin" toggle drops each winner from the list automatically once the wheel stops, so you can keep spinning for a second, third, or fourth pick without retyping anything or risking the same name coming up twice.

The wheel is drawn on an HTML canvas and spun entirely in your browser — there's no server involved, so the names you paste in, whether real students, coworkers, or contest entrants, are never uploaded anywhere. The spin itself is genuinely random each time; it isn't weighted toward any name regardless of list order or length.

How to use Wheel of Names
  1. Paste one name per line into the list box.
  2. Optionally click Shuffle to randomize the order first.
  3. Turn on "Remove winner after spin" if you'll be drawing multiple winners.
  4. Click Spin and watch the wheel land on a name.
  5. Repeat to draw more winners — removed names won't come up again.
