Random Name Picker for Giveaways

Quick Setup

For giveaway accuracy, enter each participant name once (one spelling per person). This keeps the winner selection fair and prevents accidental duplicates from changing probabilities.

• Use unique participant names
• Start with at least 2 names
• Spin once, then announce the result
• Trust the first outcome for fairness

Privacy & Fair Selection

This giveaway picker is designed for fast, private winner selection. Your participant names are handled in your browser, and you do not need an account to use the wheel. To keep the selection fair, enter each name once (one spelling per person) and spin when you are ready. If you spin again, the next draw is based on the list you entered at that moment.
