Wheel of Names Spinner

This free wheel of names lets you add any list of names, options, or prizes and spin a colorful wheel to pick a random winner. The wheel spins with smooth physics-based easing so the pointer decelerates naturally into the winning segment. Each spin is a genuinely random selection. The winner is highlighted and announced after the wheel stops. Optionally remove the winning entry after each spin to avoid repeat selections.

Teachers use the wheel of names as an engaging classroom participation tool — instead of always calling on raised hands (which leads to the same students answering), spinning a wheel creates equal opportunity and excitement. It's also used for classroom games, assigning presentation order, and randomly forming groups. The randomness removes any perception of favoritism.

For team stand-ups and meetings, a wheel helps decide who leads the retrospective, who presents first, or who gets first pick of sprint tasks. For giveaways and contests on social media or at events, a live wheel spin creates a transparent, entertaining winner selection that audiences enjoy watching. Add participant names from a comment list and spin live on stream for maximum engagement.

Behind the scenes, the wheel segments are equally sized regardless of how many names you add, and each spin picks the winner with uniform probability — every name has an equal chance of winning on each spin. The visual spin direction and number of rotations are decorative and do not affect which segment the wheel lands on; the winner is determined by the random number generator before the animation begins.
