Spin a wheel to pick one item fairly from a list you type, one option per line.
Example
With Pizza, Tacos, Pasta and Sushi each option has a 25% chance, and with Yes, No and Maybe each has about 33.33%. Entering Pizza twice against Tacos makes Pizza about 66.67% likely.
Calculation method
Every non-empty line gets exactly one position in the draw, and blank lines are ignored. The winner is chosen with the browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator; the spinning animation is only a visual effect and does not decide the outcome.
Important notes
Nothing is uploaded: the list and the result stay in your browser. This suits casual choices rather than certified lotteries, so for decisions involving money, prizes or legal consequences use an audited process instead.
One line, one equal chance
Type one option per line and spin. Every non-empty line gets exactly one position in the draw, so with Pizza, Tacos, Pasta and Sushi each option has a 25% chance, and with Yes, No and Maybe each has about 33.33%. Blank lines are ignored, so accidental empty lines do not create an invisible extra option. The result is chosen with the browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator; the spinning animation is only a visual effect and does not decide the outcome.
Duplicates change the odds
Because each line counts once, repeating an option gives it more weight. Pizza, Pizza and Tacos makes Pizza twice as likely: about 66.67% against 33.33% for Tacos. This is a simple way to create a weighted draw, for example entering a favourite restaurant twice, but it can also happen by mistake when a list is pasted from several sources. Run the Duplicate Line Remover first when every option should have the same chance.
Repeats across several spins are normal
Each spin is independent and ignores earlier results. With 10 options and 3 spins, the probability that at least one option comes up more than once is 28%, so repeats are common rather than a sign of a faulty wheel. If every option must be chosen once before any repeats, use the List Shuffler to put the whole list in random order instead. For decisions with money, prizes or legal consequences, use an audited process rather than a browser wheel.
