How to use the wheel spinner
- Type or paste entries into the box, one per line (or separated by commas).
- Press Spin or click the wheel.
- The wheel slows down and the pointer at the top shows the winner.
- Press Remove this entry to take the winner off and spin again — handy for picking an order or several winners.
Is the wheel really random?
Yes. Every spin uses your browser’s cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), the same source used for passwords. Each entry has an equal slice and an equal chance. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.

- Giveaways and raffles: paste entrants’ names, spin, and screen-record the result for transparency.
- Work: choose the stand-up order or who presents first.
- Home: decide dinner, a movie, or whose turn it is to wash up.
- Christmas: run a quick Secret Santa draw at a party (or use the Secret Santa generator for private links).
