A picker wheel where names stay readable
Simple Picker Wheel is a free random picker wheel for names, prizes, topics, choices, raffles, classrooms, giveaways, meetings, chores, and group decisions. Traditional picker wheels spin the whole wheel. Simple Picker Wheel keeps the names still and spins the arrow instead.
The arrow spins
The wheel stays readable because the names do not blur or rotate away while the pick is happening.
Random first, reveal second
The winner is selected randomly from the active list first. The pointer animation is the reveal, not a physics trick.
Browser-only saving
Your list can stay on this device when you come back later, but it is not uploaded to an account or database.
Need a board-style random picker?
Simple Picker Wheel is built for wheel-style picks. If you want a live random picker where entries stay in a visible board and the picker moves across them, try PickerBoard.
Visit PickerBoard.com →How it works
Paste your list, choose a pick length, then press Start Pick. The spinning arrow lands on a random winner and adds that result to the winners list. Turn on “Remove winner after pick” when you want repeated picks without choosing the same entry twice.
Frequently asked questions

How many names can I add?
This first version is optimized for up to 60 active entries so the wheel remains useful and readable.
