Paste your student roster, team members, or raffle participants. Spin the wheel and eliminate winners automatically.
Use this free online wheel of names and random name picker to select student names, draw raffle winners, or pick contest entrants with complete mathematical fairness. Follow these three simple steps to customize and spin your wheel in seconds:
Our Wheel of Names uses cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generation via the native window.crypto.getRandomValues() interface. By drawing upon operating system entropy pools rather than standard predictable algorithmic clocks, the spinner produces true uniform distributions across every name slice. No participant receives a skewed advantage, ensuring mathematically provable fairness for grading, door prizes, and high-stakes giveaways.
Participant confidentiality and data privacy are strictly preserved by design. All name lists and drawing calculations are processed exclusively inside your client device's volatile memory. No student rosters, personal identifying information, or drawing logs are ever sent to remote cloud servers or third-party ad networks, ensuring full compliance with FERPA, COPPA, and GDPR privacy standards.
Our users rely on this specialized tool for a wide variety of interactive activities:
