The fairest way to pick a name

Stop drawing names from a hat. The Name Picker Wheel (wheel of names) gives everyone equal odds and a bit of drama. Paste your class roster, guest list, or standup order. One name per line, then spin.

Sort names A–Z, shuffle for suspense, or save your list on this device so you can pick up where you left off. After each pick, remove the winner and spin again. Share the link so co-teachers or remote teammates see the same list and result.
