A wheel of names where you pick the winner
Rigged Wheel is a wheel of names spinner with one difference: you choose the result before you spin. Type or paste your list, mark the name you want, and the wheel lands on it. No sign-up, no download, and it works on a phone just as well as on a laptop.
People use this rigged wheel of names to hand out prizes at a giveaway, pick the next reader in a classroom, decide who goes first on game night, or set up a reveal that has to land on the right name.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I rig the wheel spinner?
- Add a comma to a name and that name is drawn first. Add a dot and it is drawn last. Names with neither spin at random, and those characters never appear on the wheel itself.
- Is the rigged wheel free to use?
- Yes. The free wheel takes up to 11 names and every option on this page works without an account. Premium raises the limit to 30 names and Boss removes it.
- Can I set the full order instead of just one name?
- Yes. Open Advanced options and use “Set the complete order of the list” to fix the running order from first to last, or “Use probability” to give each name its own odds.
- Can I use it as a wheel of names for a class or team?
- Yes. Paste one name per line into the copy-paste field or upload a CSV, then spin. Teachers and team leads use it for draws, turn-taking and picking a volunteer.
