How the random wheel picker works
The wheel keeps turning slowly while it rests. When you press spin, it speeds up, then slows to a stop. The slice under the pointer is your winner, and every option has an equal chance.
- Type one option on each line in the custom text box.
- Set the volume, and choose how many rounds the wheel should turn.
- Press Spin the wheel, then read the winner below.
- Use Remove winner to take that option off the list for the next round.

Frequently asked questions
How does the random wheel picker work?
Type one option per line, then press Spin. The wheel turns fast at first, slows down, and stops on a random slice. The slice under the pointer is the winner.
Is the spin fair?
Each option gets an equal slice of the wheel, and the stopping point is chosen at random using your browser's random number generator.
Are my options saved or sent to a server?
Your options stay saved only in your own browser, so they are still there when you return. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Can I remove the winner and spin again?
Yes. Press Remove winner after a spin to take that option off the list, then spin again.
