Previous winners

No spins yet. Winners are listed here in order.

Paste a list of entries and the wheel divides itself into equal segments, one per entry. Every spin picks a winner with equal probability from the entries still on the wheel. Turning on "Remove the winner" takes each result off, so you can work through a class or a team without anyone coming up twice.

How to use it

1 Paste or type your entries, one per line.

2 Press Spin. The winner is drawn first and the wheel is turned to land on it.

3 Switch on removal if you are working through a list rather than picking once.

Doing this in front of a room is the point, which is why the spin is slow and the winner appears in large type. Segment colours alternate between two tints of the page’s own accent rather than a rainbow, so the wheel reads clearly on a projector and does not fight the rest of the page.
