Create a custom prize wheel online. Spin the wheel randomly to draw winners for giveaways, games, and interactive events. Free, fast, and easy to use.
You have 6 options (2-12 recommended)
Range: 1000-20000ms, default: 5000ms
Useful for non-repeating draws, group assignments, or roll calls.
Set a weight for each option; slice size and win chance change accordingly.
Click 'Spin' to begin.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
A spin wheel turns a list of choices into one selected result. Enter at least two nonblank options, one per line, then spin. With custom weights off, each option has the same weight. When custom weights are on, each option’s weight controls its relative share of the total: for example, weights 1 and 3 give the second choice three times the selection weight of the first. A zero-weight choice is excluded while any positive weights remain.
The result is chosen before the wheel animation finishes; the animation presents that selection visually. Afterward, the selected text appears as the winner and is added to the recent history. The wheel also lets you choose a color palette and size, adjust the spin duration, and optionally remove the selected entry so it cannot be chosen on a later spin.
Weights are relative numbers, not percentages that must add to 100. If custom weights are enabled and every option has zero weight, the wheel falls back to equal weighting. If you add or remove list entries, the corresponding weight list is adjusted. Repeated entries are separate choices, so including the same name twice gives it two slices when equal weighting is active.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Replace the sample entries with at least two options, placing each on its own line. Blank lines are ignored. Check spelling and duplicates before you begin.
Leave custom weights off for an even selection among entries. Turn it on to edit each relative weight; use zero to make an entry ineligible when other weights are positive. If all weights are zero, selection returns to equal weighting.
Optionally change the palette, wheel size, duration, and remove-after-win setting. Spin and read the selected entry. Copy that result or check the recent outcomes shown in the history area.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
Enter student names to choose a next speaker or activity participant. If you want names to leave the list after selection, enable removal after a win.
List a few lunch, icebreaker, or task choices and use equal weights to break a tie. Keep the entries visible to everyone involved so they can check what is in the draw.
For a casual group activity, enter the names and review the list before spinning so participants can confirm the choices included.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
At least two nonblank entries are required. Empty lines are ignored, and the spin control is unavailable with fewer than two choices.
No. They express relative weight. A weight of 2 is twice the selection weight of 1, and zero gives an entry no share while the total positive weight is greater than zero.
Enable remove-after-win. The selected entry is removed from the list after the result, so later spins use the remaining entries.
The history area keeps up to 20 recent selections during the session.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
This wheel is suited to casual selection. It does not establish that participants were eligible, preserve a tamper-evident record, or provide an independently auditable random seed. For promotions, regulated drawings, or decisions with material consequences, define and document an appropriate process outside the wheel.
