Giveaway Winner Picker Wheel
Eight sample names hold the wheel until you paste real giveaway entrants; one spin then lands on one winner your audience can watch.
How to run the draw
- Load and check the list
Paste one entrant per line, raise the visible limit past 1,000 when needed, and scan for accidental repeats.
- Lock the rules first
Decide now whether bonus entries count and repeat wins are allowed, and switch on auto remove winner for multi-prize draws.
- Spin where people can see
Share your screen, spin once per prize, and keep your own record of every winner.

Why draw with a visible wheel
A wheel draw earns trust because people watch it happen. Paste one entrant per line, and prefer a first name plus an initial over emails or handles, since the list may end up on stream. Run a test spin before going live to catch typos and blank lines.
One setting matters most for a big giveaway: the wheel draws only from visible entries, and the visible limit starts at 1,000. Raise it toward the 2,000 maximum before spinning a long list, or the entrants at the bottom quietly sit out the draw.
Odds live in the list. Every visible line carries the same chance, so a person who appears twice holds two slices. Turn Show Duplicates off to keep only the first copy of each repeat, and allow repeats at all only when your published rules sell bonus entries.
Running several prizes, switch on auto remove winner and give each prize its own spin. The drawn line leaves the wheel by itself but the removal stops once two entries remain, so finish the last prize by hand. If one win per person is the rule, also delete a winner's duplicate lines yourself.
Results is a convenience history kept in this browser, not evidence. Clear it before you go live so an old test spin never shows on screen, and capture your own recording or screenshot when your giveaway rules require proof.
Where a list wheel can fit
Use it only for a settled, low-risk draw.
- Communities Small community prizes: Pick one eligible member, then record the result yourself.
- Streams On-screen audience draws: Show the checked list and spin without calling Results independent proof.
- Events Informal door prizes: Project a low-stakes draw and remove winners when repeats are not allowed.
- Teams Internal perk draws: Choose a casual perk and keep required records elsewhere.

Common questions
How big can the entrant list be?
The wheel holds up to 2,000 entries but draws only from visible ones, so raise the visible limit above its 1,000 default for a long list.
Someone entered twice. Is that double the chance?
While both lines are shown, yes; each line is its own slice. Turn Show Duplicates off to collapse repeats, or leave them when your rules grant bonus entries.
How do I pick three winners with no repeats?
Switch on auto remove winner and spin three times; each drawn name drops off after its spin. When one prize per person applies, also remove that winner's duplicate lines by hand.
Is the spin proof my giveaway was fair?
A shared screen lets people watch the pick, which builds real trust, but no wheel can prove your entry list was complete. Publish your rules and keep your own records.
