Random Name Picker Wheel

A fast, fair way to pick a name

NameDrawWheel is a free spinning wheel that picks a random name from any list you type in. Paste a class list, a group of friends, raffle entries or ideas, press Spin, and the wheel lands on a winner. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

Because the winner is chosen by your browser's secure random number generator, every name has exactly the same chance. That makes the wheel a simple way to settle decisions fairly and in a way everyone can watch happen on screen.

Popular ways people use the name picker

Teachers use the wheel to choose who answers the next question, who presents first or who gets a classroom job. Putting the wheel on a projector in full-screen mode turns a routine choice into a moment the whole class enjoys.

Streamers and social media hosts use it to draw giveaway winners live, because viewers can see the spin happen. Offices use it to decide the order of stand-up meetings or who brings snacks on Friday. Families use it to pick who chooses the movie or who does the dishes.

You can also use it for things that are not names at all: restaurant choices, workout exercises, book titles, game rules or dares. Anything you can type on a line can go on the wheel.

Tips for the best results

Put one entry on each line. To give an entry a bigger chance, add it more than once. After a winner is picked, use "Remove winner" if you want to draw again without repeating the same name, which is perfect for picking a full order or several prize winners.
