Wheel of Names provides a dynamic, engaging, and impartial way to select random winners, make group decisions, and energize classrooms or live streams. Simply paste or type your list of names, raffle tickets, dinner ideas, or classroom tasks, and watch the wheel generate colorful, evenly proportioned slices instantaneously. Powered by responsive HTML5 Canvas and authentic mechanical tick sounds, each spin follows natural deceleration physics before landing smoothly on the winning slice, punctuated by celebratory confetti. Creators and educators can easily shuffle lists, sort entries alphabetically, exclude prior winners to ensure fair distribution, and export giveaway results directly from the browser with zero data collection or tracking.

Frequently asked questions about Wheel of Names

Is the wheel of names completely fair and random?

Yes. The wheel uses cryptographically sound pseudo-random numbers via standard browser math routines to determine the target slice angle. Every active entry receives an identical slice arc and equal probability of winning.

Can I remove a winner after they have been selected?

Yes. When a winner is selected, you can click 'Remove Winner' to eliminate them from future spins, or enable the 'Auto-remove winner after spin' option to do so automatically.

Are my lists of names or contestant data saved on your servers?

No. All wheel rendering, list management, and sound generation occur 100% locally on your computer or phone. Your data is never transmitted across the network or stored on external servers.
