What is Name Picker Wheel?
The name picker wheel is the digital version of the prize wheel: every name you enter becomes a coloured slice, and one spin lands the pointer on a uniformly random winner. It turns any list of people into a fair, visible draw — ideal for classroom participation, raffle prizes, chore rotation, secret Santa order, or settling 'who goes first' without arguments. Because the wheel is drawn and spun locally in your browser, your name lists are never uploaded anywhere.
Common Uses for Name Picker Wheel
- Pick raffle or giveaway winners live on a stream
- Choose which student answers next in class
- Draw secret Santa assignment order in the office
- Decide who goes first in game nights
- Randomly assign tasks, seats or presentation order
Wheel vs drawing from a hat
A visible wheel solves the trust problem of private draws: everyone sees the same wheel, the same spin and the same landing. That is why classrooms, livestream raffles and stand-up meetings prefer it. If you only need the result and not the show, the Random Name Generator's batch mode is faster — generate 12 names and take the first.
Running multiple fair rounds
For several prizes from one list, spin, record the winner, remove that line, and spin again. Removing winners keeps every remaining person's chance equal in each round — leaving them in would give previous winners another chance to win.
