Random picker from list
Paste any list and pick one winner at random. This random picker from list is for classrooms, raffles, and "who goes first." Turn on remove-after-pick so the same name cannot win twice until you reset the pool.

Random name picker, not a wheel brand
People search "spin the wheel to decide" and "random name picker" for the same job: one winner from a list. This page is that job without a branded wheel product. Names flash during the pick so the class can see something happening; the winner is still a single uniform draw, not a physics simulation.
If you need to split everyone into groups, use the random team generator. If you only have two named options, the coin flip is faster.
Spin the wheel
Use the canvas wheel for a visual spin-the-wheel experience. The underlying pick is still a uniform random draw — not a physics simulation.
