How it works
This custom wheel spinner starts with a ten-entry prize wheel so you can see it work, then hands the list to you. Type up to 100 prizes, names or options to choose between, one per line, and the wheel redraws as you go. Spin for one winner, take winners off as they come up, or keep a tally. For fun and informal draws. Not certified for regulated raffles or lotteries.

Make the wheel yours in under a minute
This is a blank wheel spinner: custom entries go in the list, one per line, and the first thing you type or paste replaces the sample prizes. A column copied from a spreadsheet pastes straight in. The limit is 100 entries of up to 60 characters, and the page tells you if any lines were left out. Press Spin the wheel, tap the wheel or hit the space bar. This spin wheel maker needs no account: the list is saved in this browser.
Choose what happens to a winner
Normal keeps every entry on the wheel, which suits a one-off decision, or a prize wheel online or at a stall, where the same prize can come up twice. Elimination takes each winner off before the next spin, so it fits a spin the wheel drawing, a turn order or a chore list where nobody should be picked twice. Tally counts wins per entry, for first-to-three games and class points. Every spin is numbered in the results list, and Copy puts the whole list on your clipboard as a record.
Set percentages with repeated lines
There is no weight box: every line has the same chance, so an entry's chance is its number of lines divided by the total. For a wheel spinner with percentages, pick a total that makes the sums easy. Ten lines move in steps of 10 percent: Sticker pack on five lines, Keyring on three and T-shirt on two gives 50, 30 and 20 percent. Twenty lines move in steps of 5 percent, and the full 100 lines give whole percentages. Where the repeats sit changes nothing. To watch the shares settle, spin the probability spinner.
- Using it as a choice maker? List only options you would accept, and agree before the spin that the decision stands.
- Keep entries under about 20 characters. Longer ones are cut short on the wheel, though the result card shows the full text.
- Giving away limited stock? Write one line per item you actually have and use Elimination. When the third T-shirt is won, T-shirt is off the wheel without anyone counting.
- Add a Spin again line or two when you want some spins to give nothing, and say so before anyone plays.
- Share builds a link that carries your list and the last result. Anyone with the link can read every name on it, so send it only to the people involved.
Questions and answers
Can I make a double spinner wheel?
Yes. Press Add a second wheel under your list and type a second list, one per line. One press spins both, and the result reads as a pair, such as "Sam + Wash the car". With two spinners in Elimination, each wheel loses its winner.
Is every entry equally likely to win?
Yes. The winner is drawn at random when you press the button, every line with the same chance, and the wheel then turns to land on it. Earlier results change nothing. Two lines give an entry two chances. Only the opening sample is fixed.
Can I use it for a class reward or a giveaway drawing?
For informal ones, yes: a class reward, a club door prize, a stream giveaway among friends. Show the full list on a shared screen before you spin, use Elimination so nobody wins twice, and copy the numbered results afterwards. The wheel is not audited or certified, so it is not suitable for any prize draw that the law where you live regulates. Those need the method and the record keeping that your local rules set out.
Does the wheel save my list?
Your list is saved in this browser on this device and comes back when you return to the page. It is never sent to us. The results list and the tally are not kept: they start again when you reload. Start again brings back the ten sample prizes. A private window or another phone starts from the sample wheel, so use Share to move a list between devices.
