WhirlPicker

Random winner picker for giveaways and raffles

Paste the entries, spin, and celebrate the winner with a fanfare. Winners are set aside as you go, so the next spin picks someone new.

How it works

  1. Paste your entries, one per line or straight from a spreadsheet column.
  2. Spin to draw a winner. Keep spinning for second and third place.
  3. Use Random order from the ⋯ menu to draw everyone at once in a random order.

Questions teachers ask

Can someone win twice?

Not with Fair turns, which is on for lists of names: winners sit out until everyone has been drawn. Choose Pure random if repeat wins are allowed.

Can some entries have more chances?

Yes. Write a weight after the name, like “Sam x3”, to give that entry three chances.

Is the draw really random?

Yes. WhirlPicker uses your browser's cryptographic random number generator, and the winner is drawn before the wheel starts turning.

Is WhirlPicker free?

Yes. There are no ads, no accounts and nothing to install, and names never leave your device.
