Picker Wheel — Random Name Picker You Can Share

Type your names, hit spin, get a random pick. Your list is stored in the link — copy it once and the same wheel comes back for your class, your team, or next week’s turn order.

Your list is saved in this page's link — copy it to share or reuse this wheel.

How to use the picker wheel

Add entries one at a time, or paste a whole list into the box with one name per line. Press Spin and the wheel lands on a random entry. Use it to pick a student, choose who presents first, split a bill, settle lunch, or draw a raffle winner.

Reuse the same wheel next time

Every change you make is written into this page's address. Press Copy share link and send it to your class or team — they open the same wheel, already filled in. Bookmark it and it still works next week, with no account and nothing stored on a server.

Drawing an order with no repeats

Switch on Remove winner and each pick drops off the wheel. Spin until it empties and you have a full running order — turn order, presentation order, or a raffle where nobody wins twice.

Other ways to pick

Prefer a different format? The ladder game matches people to outcomes all at once, and What should I eat? picks from a built-in menu list.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I share my wheel with someone else?

Your list is stored in the page link itself. Press Copy share link and send it — whoever opens it sees the exact same wheel, already filled in. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed, so the same link keeps working next week.

Is the spin actually random?

Yes. The winning slice is chosen first with the browser's random number generator, and the animation then rotates to land on it. Every slice has the same chance no matter how many times you spin or how the wheel looks.

Can I remove a name once it has been picked?

Turn on Remove winner. After each spin the picked entry drops off the wheel, which is what you want for drawing a running order, assigning turns, or a raffle with no repeat winners. Leave it off and every name stays in for the next spin.

Are my names saved anywhere?

They stay in your own browser and in the link you copy. Nothing is sent to a server. Clearing your browser data clears the saved list, so keep a share link if you want a wheel to survive that.
