About Name Picker Wheel
What is the Name Picker Wheel?
The Name Picker Wheel is a free random spinner for choosing a person, prize winner, task, team, topic, or option from a list. Add your entries, click spin, and the wheel picks one at random.
How It Works
- Add one entry per line.
- Use optional weights with a pipe, like
Casey | 2. - Choose a theme and spin time.
- Spin the wheel to pick a winner.
- Turn on winner removal if each person should only win once.
Common Uses
- Classrooms: Pick a student, group, topic, or presentation order.
- Giveaways: Choose a winner from a customer or attendee list.
- Work: Randomize standup order, demos, tasks, or team decisions.
- Events: Run a quick raffle without spreadsheet cleanup.
- Personal decisions: Pick dinner, chores, games, or what to do next.
Features
- Editable list with shuffle, sort, clear, and reset controls.
- Weighted entries for larger wheel slices.
- Crypto-backed browser randomness when available.
- Winner history for the current session.
- Optional winner removal after each spin.
- Shareable links that include your entries and settings.
FAQs
Q: Is this free?
A: Yes. The wheel is free to use.
Q: Are my entries uploaded?
A: No. The wheel runs in your browser. Share links include the entries in the URL so only share lists you are comfortable sending.
Q: Can I make someone more likely to win?
A: Yes. Add a weight after a pipe, like Alex | 3. That entry gets three times the wheel space of a normal entry.
Q: Can the same winner be picked twice?
A: Yes, unless you turn on "Remove winner after spin". With removal enabled, the winning entry is deleted after the spin ends.
