Drawing several winners
The field also takes a whole column pasted from a spreadsheet — each row becomes a segment.
- With removal on, every name that comes up drops out and cannot come up again.
- “Stop after 3 spins” plus AUTO gives three winners with nothing to touch in between.
- The list of picks copies with one button, ready for an email or a post.
- A repeated name is flagged but not blocked: a double raffle ticket is deliberate.
The odds when drawing several winners
- Twelve names with removal on: the first draw is 1 ÷ 12 = 8.3%.
- Each name that comes up shrinks the pool — the second draw becomes 1 ÷ 11 = 9.1%, the third 1 ÷ 10 = 10%.
- Which is why the last name left comes up at 100%: it is the only sector.

The same tool, a different job:
How it works
- Enter the options in the field, separated by commas or one per line.
- Press ONCE for a single spin, or AUTO for a run of them.
- Tick Remove the pick after each spin if you would rather what came up did not repeat.
- Set Stop auto-spinning after and a number to limit the run.
- With Save the list is written to the selected one — the line above the buttons says which. If none is selected yet, a list named after the page is created — Save never asks for a name.
- With Save as new a second list is made without losing the loaded one. If the name is already taken, you are asked whether to replace the older one.
- With Share you get a link that opens the same wheel on another device.
Every segment has an equal chance and the list stays in the browser — nothing is sent to a server.
Frequently asked questions
Can 40 names go in?
They can, but the labels get small on a phone. Drawing in groups is easier.
Are the names kept?
The last list comes back on its own. Save holds up to six named lists — one per class, for instance.
Can anyone else see the names?
No. Everything stays in the browser on the device.
