Random Name Picker Wheel – Pick Names Instantly!

Choosing names randomly shouldn’t be complicated or feel unfair. Whether you’re a teacher selecting students for presentations, a team leader picking meeting volunteers, or an event organizer choosing contest winners, the Spin Numbers Name Picker Wheel makes random selection transparent, engaging, and fun.

Unlike basic text generators or manual methods like drawing names from a hat, our interactive spinning wheel provides visual proof of fairness that everyone can see and trust. Each spin is powered by a secure randomization algorithm that ensures every name has an equal chance of being selected—no bias, no patterns, just pure randomness.

100% free, no login required, and completely private—all names stay in your browser. Add unlimited names, spin the wheel, and watch the confetti fly when your winner is selected!

How to Use the Name Picker

Using the tool is simple and requires no login or registration. Here’s how it works:

Step 1 – Add Names to the Wheel

Enter each name one by one in the input field. Each name is automatically added to the wheel and assigned a unique color for clear visual distinction. You can add as many names as needed—we’ve tested with 100+ participants without performance issues.

💡 Pro tip: Keep your roster in a text file and copy-paste it each time—takes only 10 seconds.
