What is this tool?
This random picker spins a wheel to choose a winner from your list. It can also split people into teams, flip a coin, roll dice and draw random numbers. Enter one entry per line, and add *3 after a name to give it three times the chance. Click the wheel or press Space to spin, then Remove or Hide the winner, or Spin again. Fullscreen and a tick sound (with mute) suit classrooms and live streams. The list is saved in this browser and Share list creates a link to it. Every pick uses your browser's cryptographic random number generator.
How to Use
- Type or paste entries into Entries, one per line. Add *3 after a name for triple weight.
- Click the wheel, the SPIN button, or press Space to spin.
- In the winner box, choose Remove, Hide or Spin again.
- Open Pick several at once to draw more than one winner without the wheel.
- Use Teams to split the list into groups, or Numbers & dice for coins, dice and number ranges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the random picker actually fair?
Yes. The winner is chosen with crypto.getRandomValues before the wheel starts moving, and the wheel then lands on it. Each entry's chance is its weight divided by the total, so entries without a weight are equally likely.
Can the same name be picked twice?
A name on two lines counts as two entries, so it is twice as likely to win. Removing a winner removes only the line that won. In Pick several at once, tick Don't pick the same entry twice to avoid repeats.
What is the difference between Remove and Hide?
Remove deletes the winner's line from your list. Hide takes it off the wheel for now and lists it under Hidden for now, where you can tap it to bring it back.
