How Raffle Wheel works

5 simple steps — no signup, runs entirely in your browser.

  1. Add Entries

    Enter entry names or numbers — one per line.

  2. Generate a Range

    Quickly add sequential entries like 1–100 with a single click.

  3. Spin the Wheel

    Click spin to fairly draw a random winner from all entries.

  4. Announce the Winner

    The winning entry is revealed clearly for everyone to see.

  5. Draw Again

    Remove the winner and spin again for runner-up prizes.

Try this example

Here's a quick example you can try right now in Raffle Wheel:

  • Entry 1
  • Entry 2
  • Entry 3
  • Entry 4
  • Entry 5
  • Entry 6
  • Entry 7
  • Entry 8

Paste those into the input above, hit spin, and you'll see how the tool picks one fairly at random.

A raffle wheel that replaces the tombola drum and the folded slips

Every raffle ends the same way: someone holds a bucket above their head, someone else looks away while they pick, and at least one person in the room decides the whole thing was stitched up. A raffle wheel on a screen removes the argument. The entries are visible, the spin happens in front of everyone, and the result is read off the wheel rather than out of a hand. Spinwheely does that part and nothing else — no ticketing platform, no fees, no email capture.

Type or paste your entrants, press spin, announce the name. If you sold numbered tickets, use the range generator instead and let the wheel build 1–250 for you.

Names or ticket numbers — both work

Small club draws usually run on names, because everyone in the room knows everyone. School fairs and charity nights run on numbers, because the stubs are already printed. The online raffle wheel takes either: a pasted column out of a spreadsheet, a typed list, or a generated range of ticket numbers up to 1,000 entries.

If someone bought five tickets, put them on five times. It looks blunt, but it's the honest way to weight a draw — the odds match the money, and anyone squinting at the wheel can see why their neighbour appears more than once.

Drawing multiple prizes in order

Most raffles have a top prize and a tail of smaller ones. Turn on remove-after-spin and the wheel becomes a running draw: first spin takes the hamper, second takes the wine, third takes the voucher, and nobody wins twice. The wheel visibly shrinks as prizes go, which is a surprisingly good crowd cue that the night is nearly over.

Drawing reserves? Keep spinning past your prize count and write down the order. If a winner isn't in the room, you already have the next name.

Running the draw in front of people

On a projector, fullscreen the raffle wheel spinner and stand to the side so the pointer stays visible. On a livestream, share the browser tab rather than the whole desktop — the wheel scales cleanly and your notifications stay private. For draws announced after the event, screen-record the spin and post it; a fifteen-second clip settles more questions than a written result ever does.

Where the winner actually comes from

Each spin pulls a value from crypto.getRandomValues() inside your browser, then the wheel is animated to land on the slice that value selected. There is no house edge, no server deciding anything, and no record of your entrants leaving the device. Two adjacent names coming up in consecutive draws is normal — genuine randomness clusters, and a result that never repeats would be the suspicious one.

Other Spinwheely wheels for the same night

If you're spinning for prizes rather than people, the prize wheel is the right shape. For classroom and meeting picks there's the wheel of names, for numeric draws the random number wheel, and the main spin the wheel tool builds a custom wheel from any list you paste in. All free, all no signup.
