SpinOfLuck is a free online random name picker. You add a list of entries, spin the wheel, and one is chosen at random. It works in any modern browser with no signup, no installation, and no ads.

Is the wheel spin truly random?

Yes. Each spin uses the browser's built-in random number generator (Math.random) to pick a slice independently of every other spin. The visual rotation is purely cosmetic — the winner is selected up front and the wheel animates to land on it.

Can I weight some names more than others?

Yes. Add a multiplier with an asterisk: 'Alice*3' gives Alice three slices on the wheel, making her three times more likely to win than a single-entry name.

Are my entries and results saved?

Yes — everything is saved automatically to your browser's local storage. Reload the page or come back tomorrow and your wheels, entries, custom colors, and spin history are still there. Nothing is sent to a server.

Can I set a custom color for each name?

Yes. Open the Colors tab in the side panel. Each unique name gets a row with a color picker; names without a custom color fall back to the active palette.

Can I share a wheel with someone else?

Yes. Click the share icon to copy a URL containing the encoded wheel. Anyone who opens the link is offered to import the wheel into their own browser.

Does it work on phones and tablets?

Yes. The interface is fully responsive and the wheel can be spun by tapping it. Fullscreen mode is also supported for presentations.

Yes. SpinOfLuck is completely free. There are no accounts, no subscriptions, no ads, and no data collection.

How to use the wheel

Add your entries. Open the Entries tab and type one name per line. Use 'Name*N' to weight an entry (e.g. 'Alice*3' for triple chance).
Customize the look. Pick a color palette, wheel shape, and per-name colors from the Settings and Colors tabs.
Spin the wheel. Click the wheel or press the Space bar. Press F for fullscreen during presentations.
