Random name picker

Pick from any list

Replace the sample names with your own, one per line. The picker works for names, ticket numbers, email addresses, or short labels. Press Spin and the result appears in the winner card, ready to read aloud or copy.

Recent winners are stored only in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account to manage. Clearing the list also clears the local history.

No-repeat mode

When you need to call on everyone exactly once, enable Remove winner. Each name is taken out of the pool after it is picked, so the next draw is always from the remaining names. This is ideal for standups, classroom questioning, and interview order.

The reverse is also useful: leave the option off for independent draws where the same name is allowed to win more than once.

Fairness you can explain

Every entry has an equal slice unless you deliberately enable weights. The winner is selected with the Web Crypto API before the animation starts. That means the result does not depend on when you click, how fast the wheel turns, or which browser you use.

If someone asks how the pick was made, you can point to the visible entry list and the equal slices. Transparency is the point of a public random picker.

Share the exact list

Copy link encodes the current entries and settings into the URL. Open it on another device and you get the same wheel. This is handy for remote teams, livestreams, and teachers who prepare a list at home.

For very long lists the link may exceed a safe URL length. In that case the app tells you instead of creating a broken link. Keep shared lists under roughly 80 short entries.
