Random Name Picker
Paste a list of names and spin the wheel to pick a winner — or draw instantly without the animation. Great for classroom turns, giveaways, raffles and standup order. Optionally remove each winner so everyone gets picked exactly once. Runs entirely in your browser.
Examples
24 student names
One fair winner per spin, no repeats with remove-winner on
How to use Random Name Picker
Why use this tool
Frequently asked questions
Yes — winners are chosen with the browser’s cryptographically secure random generator (crypto.getRandomValues), not a predictable pattern. Every name has an equal chance.
Yes. Enable “remove winner after pick” and each winner is taken off the list, so successive spins cover everyone exactly once.
No hard limit. The wheel stays readable up to a few dozen names; beyond that, instant pick works with thousands.
