Matching names, ignoring letter case, count as one participant. Their weights add together; all matching entries leave the draw after a win. Give different people distinct labels.
The original list is locked during this draw. Remaining participants appear on the wheel; their chances are recalculated after each winner.

FROM YOUR LIST TO THE FINAL REVEAL
One draw, three simple steps
Choose the draw settings
Set the number of winners and choose manual or automatic reveals. Leave equal weights on, or enter agreed ticket counts.
Reveal and share
Start the draw. Winners leave the remaining pool automatically. When the series finishes, copy the names, download the image or share the results link.
MORE THAN ONE LUCKY NAME
A random winner picker for the whole draw
Picking three winners from twenty names should not mean rebuilding your wheel after every spin. This multiple winner picker keeps track of the series, shows your progress and removes each selected participant from the remaining pool. The list you started with stays intact, so you can start another draw without typing it again.
Use one-at-a-time mode when someone is announcing prizes or reading names aloud. The next spin waits for your click. Automatic mode continues through the chosen number of winners with a short pause between reveals. You can pause the sequence; a spin already underway finishes before the wheel waits. Switching away from the page also pauses automatic continuation.
The results list follows draw order. First on the list means first selected, not necessarily the biggest prize: agree on any prize order before you start. A completed draw can become a fixed results page with its own link and preview image. The original entries and weights are included, so share only information you intend recipients to see.
Three reasons to choose several winners
Keep the whole selection together, from the first spin to the last name.
Several prizes, one draw
Choose three recipients for three small prizes at a community event. Set the count before the first spin and reveal each winner when the host is ready. Use the weighted wheel guide if agreed ticket counts should affect the chances.
Choose a small classroom group
Pick a few students for a demonstration, presentation or classroom activity. Each chosen name leaves the pool, so the same student cannot fill two places. For an individual turn, the random name picker is a simpler starting point.
Set a random playing order
Set the winner count to the number of distinct participants to produce a complete random order. Reveal the whole list automatically, or introduce players one at a time. This creates an order; it does not divide people into teams.
Weights change each remaining draw
Equal weights give every distinct participant the same initial chance only when they have the same number of matching entries. Repeated entries act like extra tickets. In this mode, matching labels are grouped without regard to letter case, their weights add together, and the whole group leaves the pool when it wins. Add a surname or another identifier when two different people share a name.
With optional weights, each next selection is proportional to the weight still in the pool. Suppose Alex has weight 3, Sam 2 and Jordan 1. Their first-pick chances are 50%, about 33.33% and about 16.67%. If Alex wins first, Sam has a two-in-three chance on the next spin. These are chances for the next selection, not guarantees or fixed overall chances of appearing anywhere in a multi-winner result.
The wheel draws locally using your browser’s cryptographic random generator. Progress is kept on this device when browser storage is available; a restored series waits for you to continue. Sharing creates a fixed copy in My wheels, where its creator can delete it. A shared page records the result supplied by its creator; it is not an independently certified or audited draw.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Questions before the first spin
Can the same person win more than once?
A matching label cannot win twice within one series. After a win, all entries with that name are excluded from later spins, ignoring letter case. Different labels are treated as different participants, so check your list before starting.
Can I pick every participant?
Yes. Set the count to the number of distinct participants. The result is a random order without repeats. The final remaining participant takes the last place.
Does a draw delete names from my saved wheel?
No. Exclusions belong only to the current series. Your original list and weights remain saved. Start again to restore the whole pool, or return to single spins.
Can I pause an automatic draw?
Yes. Pause stops the next spin from starting. If a spin is already underway, it finishes and its winner is recorded. Resume continues with the remaining participants.
Can I share the winners?
After the draw is complete, Share results saves an immutable results page and preview image. The link includes access to the original list, weights and winning order. You can also copy the winners or download a results image.
What happens if I reload the page?
When local storage is available, the draw is restored with the winners already recorded and automatic continuation paused. A spin that had not finished is not recorded. Clearing browser data removes this local progress; a result already shared online keeps its link.
