Random Picker Wheel
The Random Picker Wheel lets you type in a list of options (one per line, or comma-separated) and spin a colorful wheel to pick one at random — perfect for picking a raffle winner, deciding where to eat, or fairly assigning tasks. It uses a cryptographically secure random generator (Web Crypto) instead of an ordinary pseudo-random function, and supports automatically removing the winner after each spin so it's excluded from future picks, with a running history of every winner from the session. Runs entirely in your browser — the options you type are never sent to a server.
The wheel spins entirely on your device, using a cryptographically secure random generator (Web Crypto) — the options you enter are never sent to any server.
Add at least 2 options above to spin the wheel.
What this tool does
Picks a random entry from a list you enter using a spinning wheel, with a results history and an option to remove the winner from the wheel.
When to use it
- A draw among named participants.
- Picking a competition winner in front of an audience.
- Assigning tasks or roles at random.
- Settling a choice between equivalent options.
How to use it
- Enter the entries, one per line.
- Enable the remove-winner option for successive draws without repeats.
- Spin the wheel and read the winner.
- Review the results history, or reset and start again.
A practical example
Input
Ten names with remove-winner enabled.
Output
A winner per spin, removed from the wheel afterwards so it cannot recur in later spins.
Limitations
- At least two entries are required; a wheel with one is meaningless and you get a message saying so.
- The result is genuinely random, cannot be influenced and cannot be reproduced — which is the point.
- The history is not kept once you close the page; record the results yourself if they matter.
- To pick numbers from a range rather than names from a list, use the Random Number Generator.
Privacy and processing
The list and the selection are processed entirely in your browser and participants' names are never sent to a server.
Technical notes
- The wheel's stopping position is computed to land exactly on the chosen winner, so the spin is a visual presentation of the result rather than the means of deciding it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — the tool uses the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure random generator to choose the winner, not an ordinary, less rigorous random function.
