Free Spinner Wheel — Random Name Picker

Add your names, spin the wheel, and let chance pick a winner. No signup needed.

6 entries on the wheel

A random name picker for classrooms, raffles and games

This free spinner wheel picks a random winner from any list you give it. Type or paste entries into the box — one name per line — and the wheel updates instantly with a colourful segment for each entry. Hit spin, watch the wheel slow to a stop, and the name under the pointer wins.

Teachers use it as a classroom name picker to call on students fairly, keep everyone engaged and decide presentation order. It also works brilliantly for prize raffles and giveaways, icebreakers, picking quiz teams, or settling any “who goes first?” debate. The remove-winner option lets you run multi-round draws where nobody is picked twice.

If you're picking students for quiz questions, you might like what's next: Shiken lets you build interactive quizzes and live learning games your whole class can play. Explore Shiken's learning and quiz features.

Frequently asked questions

Is the spinner wheel random and fair?

Yes. Each spin uses a random landing angle generated in your browser, so every entry has an equal chance of winning. Segment size is identical for every entry on the wheel.

How many names can I add to the wheel?

Add as many entries as you like, one per line. The wheel redraws automatically as you type. With very long lists the labels get small, so lists of up to a few dozen names work best visually.

Can I remove a winner so they are not picked twice?

Yes. After each spin you can press "Remove winner & spin again" to take the winner off the wheel — perfect for raffles with multiple prizes or making sure every student gets a turn.

Do I need an account to use the wheel?

No. The spinner wheel is completely free and runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is saved or sent to a server.
