Random number picker wheel.

How the number wheel works

1. Set the range. Type the first and last number, like 1 and 100, or 250 and 400. One range holds up to 10,000 numbers.
2. Spin. Every number has its own slice and the same chance.
3. Keep or remove the number. Remove it when each number can only win once, like raffle tickets. Keep it when repeats are fine, like rolling for a game.

Big ranges have thin slices, so the number passing the pointer shows below the wheel while it spins.

Raffle tickets

If you sold tickets numbered 1 to 300, set the range to 1–300 and spin once per prize. Remove each winning number so no ticket wins twice. The Results tab lists every number drawn, so you can read them out at the end or check them against the stubs.

If only some numbers in the range were sold, paste the sold numbers into the random name picker wheel instead, one per line.

In class and in games

• Question numbers. Number the questions on a worksheet and spin to pick which one the class works through together.
• Seat numbers. Number the seats in a lecture hall and spin to pick who answers next.
• Game turns. Spin for move counts, scores or who goes first in a board game.
• Page picks. Spin a page number for a reading check or a spot check in a long document.

Fair draws

The number is chosen with your browser’s cryptographic random number source before the wheel turns. Each number in the range has the same chance on every spin. A number that just came up is no more or less likely next time.
