Raffle wheel: draw winners everyone can trust
Add your entries, spin once per prize, and the wheel draws winners with an exactly equal chance for every ticket. "Remove the winner after each spin" is already switched on, so nobody wins twice, and the replay link doubles as your proof that the draw was straight.
Just for fun: PlaySpinWheel raffles are for free draws (door prizes, bake-offs, who gets the good parking spot), never money.
Anything can win. That's the deal.

How do you run a fair raffle with a spin wheel?
Give every entry one slice: names for a small office draw, ticket numbers when you'd rather post results without names attached. Then draw in front of people: spin on the big screen, on a video call, or hand the phone to the most suspicious person in the room. The slow final tick of the wheel is the drama a paper-hat draw never had.
Multiple prizes? Spin once per prize. Winners are removed automatically, so the wheel shrinks as the prizes go. Pro tip from every school fair ever: draw the smallest prize first and save the big one for last; the tension is the show.
How do you prove the draw was fair?
Every spin runs on a random seed, and that seed lives inside the share link. Post the link in the group chat and anyone can open it to watch the identical spin land on the identical winner, a built-in audit trail no hat, bowl, or folded paper scrap has ever offered.
Fairness is structural, too: every slice is the same size, and this wheel has no weighting to fiddle with. If someone legitimately holds three tickets, add them three times. That's the honest version of better chances, visible to everyone on the wheel itself.
What counts as a raffle entry?
Anything you can type: colleagues' names for the leftover conference swag, numbered tickets for the bake sale, team names for who presents first. Up to 48 entries fit one wheel; for a bigger draw, run heats and spin a final wheel of heat winners. One line to keep it joyful. Keep money out of it. The moment cash changes hands a raffle stops being a game, and in most places it starts being regulated.
Fair questions
- Can the same entry win twice?
- Not unless you want it to: "Remove the winner after each spin" is on by default for raffles, so each winner leaves the wheel. Toggle it off in Wheel settings if your draw allows repeat wins.
- How many entries fit on the wheel?
- 48 per wheel. For larger draws, split entries into heats, spin each heat, then spin a final wheel made of the heat winners. It stays fair at every stage.
- Can people verify the result afterwards?
- Yes. Share the result link. It carries the spin's seed, so opening it replays the exact draw and shows the same winner. It's the receipt for your raffle.
- Can I use this for a paid raffle or lottery?
- Please don't. PlaySpinWheel is for free, just-for-fun draws, no entry fees, no cash prizes. Paid raffles are regulated in most places and need a proper licensed setup, which a toy wheel is not.
