Want just a single spin? Use Winner mode in the picker. Need a full draft order? Use Full Order mode.
Three simple steps — no setup, no account, no download.
Enter 2 to 100 names, separated by commas or new lines. Load a saved list if you've been here before.
Pick Full Order for a complete ranking, Winner for a single result, or Team Generator to split into groups.
A 3-2-1 countdown, then the horses thunder to the finish line. Copy, share, or download the results.
Both tools are great — here's honest guidance on which fits your situation.
You want the fastest possible single spin with zero setup, and you're only picking one thing, once. A wheel is hard to beat for pure simplicity when you just need one name, right now, with no configuration.
You need a full ranked order (like a draft order), want to split a group into teams, need to draw multiple winners without repeats, or just want something more fun to watch as a group. It handles everything a wheel does, plus the things a wheel can't.
A wheel gives you one winner per spin. We wanted something that could handle more of what people actually need — a full team draft order, a group split into teams, or multiple raffle winners in a row — while staying just as fair and just as fun to watch.
Everything a wheel does, plus the things a wheel can't.
Every result uses a Fisher-Yates shuffle — the same standard used for unbiased random sampling. Same fairness as a wheel, with more ways to use the result.
Full Order for complete rankings, Pick One Winner for a single result (just like a wheel spin), or Team Generator to split your list into even groups.
Running multiple prize drawings? Use Draw Again after each pick and the previous winner is automatically removed from the next race.
Every race generates a shareable result link others can check to confirm the outcome wasn't changed after the fact. Perfect for official raffles.
Save frequently-used name lists (like your league or class roster) and reload them instantly next time. No account needed.
Copy results to your clipboard, download a branded results image, or share a verifiable link. Post it in your league chat or group message.
