How the Spin Works
Each click of the Spin button generates a cryptographically random angle before the animation begins. The wheel accelerates instantly and decelerates using a smooth ease-out curve — just like a real physical wheel — until it stops naturally on the winner. The randomness is determined before the animation, so the result is never influenced by when you click or how long the wheel spins.
Manage Your List Like a Pro
Add names one at a time with the text input, or paste an entire list at once (one name per line). Click Shuffle to randomise the order of segments on the wheel. Use Remove & spin again after each draw to cycle through all names without repeats — ideal for calling on every student in a class or awarding multiple prizes. Your list is automatically saved in your browser and restored on your next visit.
Privacy — Everything Runs in Your Browser
The wheel, the animation, the random number generation, and the confetti all run locally in your browser tab using JavaScript and the HTML Canvas API. No names, no data, and no results are ever sent to any server. The tool works fully offline after the page has loaded. Zero logs. Zero tracking. Zero data retention.
