Type a hex code or use the well. The wheel repaints as you type, and the colours repeat around it — you never have to pick one per name.

How does Spinnza choose?

The winner is picked before the wheel moves, using your browser’s cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues) rather than Math.random(). The range is reduced by rejection sampling, so no entry is even slightly more likely than another because of where it sits in the list.

Weights are applied before the draw: an entry with three chances occupies three of the total, and duplicate rows each count separately. The complete list is always used, even when the wheel is too crowded to show every name on a slice.

The animation is presentation. Once a winner is chosen, the wheel is told where to stop — it never decides anything.

What this does

Put names on a wheel and pick one at random. That is the whole job, and it should take about ten seconds.

The wheel handles anything from two names to ten thousand. Above about two hundred entries it stops trying to print every name on a slice and shows a representative sample instead — but the draw itself always uses the full list, and the winner is always shown in full underneath.

Ways to get names in

Type them one per line. Paste a column straight out of Google Sheets, Excel or Numbers. Or upload a .csv, .xlsx or .txt file and pick which column holds the names.

Imports never assume column A is right. You see the detected columns, a preview, the row count, how many rows were blank and how many duplicates there are before anything lands on the wheel.

Questions

Is the wheel spinner free?
Yes. Unlimited spins, spreadsheet import, multiple winners, saved wheels and the winner card are all free with no account. The only paid feature is a recorded proof video of a draw.
How many names can I add?
Up to 10,000 per wheel. Past that you are told the limit rather than having names quietly dropped.

The wheel is free and always will be. A recorded proof spin is $1.99, one time, no subscription — how it works.
