Random Name Picker Wheel

Run a fair name draw in three steps

A name picker is only convincing if everyone can see the draw happen. The wheel is drawn on screen, so the whole room can watch the pointer land.

• Paste your names, one per line, or type them in the options panel.
• Tell everyone the wheel is about to spin, then press the spin button.
• Read the winning name, then use "Remove winner" to keep drawing without repeats.

Built for teachers and team leads

Calling on students or handing out tasks is easier when the choice is visibly random. The wheel also removes the awkward moment of picking the same volunteer every time.

• Classroom questioning and cold calling without favouritism.
• Stand-up or retrospective speaking order.
• Secret Santa, raffles and prize draws from a list of entries.
• Assigning chores, seats or on-call shifts.

Keep the list tidy

Paste from a spreadsheet and the wheel splits names by line. Long names shorten automatically so the slices stay readable, and you can shuffle the order before the draw if you want a fresh layout.
