Key capabilities
Turn a pasted name list into equal segments
Spin an editable list and select one or more winners
Select up to ten winners with multiple pointers
Each non-empty line becomes one equal wheel segment. The browser chooses a stopping angle with cryptographically secure randomness, then resolves every configured pointer against the segment beneath it.
Keep separate wheels and review their local history
Use the wheel for everyday choices, classrooms, games, and informal drawings. It is not an independently audited system for regulated lotteries or high-stakes decisions.
Practical guide
Prepare a fair wheel
Put one eligible choice on each non-empty line. Remove accidental duplicates unless repeated entries are meant to receive extra chances, and agree on eligibility before the spin starts.
Example: classroom participation
A teacher can paste the students who are present, choose two winners, and spin once. Keeping absent students out of the list is more important than changing the animation or color order.
Check the outcome
Confirm that the visible list and winner count match the intended draw. For prizes or regulated selections, use an independently audited process and retain the records required by the organizer.
