Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wheel of names?
A wheel of names is a spinning wheel tool where you add a list of names and spin it to randomly pick a winner. It is widely used for giveaways, classroom activities, team selections, prize draws, and making random decisions fairly.
Is this wheel of names truly random?
Yes. The winner is determined using JavaScript's Math.random() which produces a cryptographically unpredictable result. Every name on the wheel has an equal chance of being selected regardless of the visual spin duration.
Are my names saved or uploaded to a server?
No. All names exist only in your browser memory and are never sent to any server. Nothing is stored, logged, or shared with anyone. If you refresh the page the names will be cleared.
How many names can I add to the wheel?
There is no hard limit. The wheel renders well up to around 100 names. For very large lists use the Quick Pick button which instantly picks a random name without the animation.
Can I remove a name after it has been picked?
Yes. Enable the Remove after pick setting and picked names will be greyed out and excluded from future spins. This ensures every spin produces a unique winner. Click Reset to restore all names for a fresh round.
Is this a free wheelofnames.com alternative?
Yes. This is a free alternative to wheelofnames.com that works entirely in your browser with no ads, no account required, and no data uploaded. It includes all the core features — spinning wheel, bulk add, remove after pick, and winner announcement — completely free.
