Uses for a number wheel
- Raffles and giveaways: enter the ticket numbers and spin for the winner.
- Classrooms: call on students by their class number, or pick a question number.
- Games: decide how many steps to move, or the number of rounds.
- Math practice: spin twice and multiply, add or compare the numbers.
A bigger range
A wheel works best with up to about 100 slices. To fill it quickly, type numbers in a spreadsheet column and paste them in. For huge ranges, a dice roller with a custom die is faster: try 1d1000 in dice notation.
Frequently asked questions
Can I pick more than one number with no repeats?
Yes. Click Remove from wheel after each spin, or switch to Pick names at the top to draw several numbers at once.
Is the result really random?
Yes. Each spin picks the winner with your browser's secure random number generator, so every slice has exactly the same chance. The animation then lands on it.
Can I get the original list back?
Yes. Click Clear, then Put the original list back.
