How does Spin the Wheel select a choice?

It selects one non-empty line from your list; if an option appears more than once, each occurrence is a separate entry and raises its chance.

Use a transparent, agreed list for group decisions; this is a casual picker, not an auditable lottery.

Random Choice and a Fair List

A random picker chooses an entry from the list supplied to it. When every unique option appears once and the selection method samples each entry evenly, each listed option has the same chance in a single draw. Repeating an option changes its weight because the picker sees multiple entries, while blank lines are ignored. This tool is useful for casual choices such as selecting a discussion topic, assigning a turn, or choosing among agreed alternatives. It cannot make an unfair or incomplete list fair, verify participant consent, or provide an audit trail for a high-stakes draw. Review the options with the people involved, remove duplicates when they are accidental, and agree in advance whether a selected option can be drawn again.

Common Mistakes

✕

Leaving the same choice on several lines unintentionally

Each non-empty line is weighted as a separate entry, so duplicates give that option additional chances.

✕

Using a casual picker for a regulated or high-stakes selection

The tool does not provide an independently verifiable record, formal controls, or an audit process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are duplicates treated as one choice?

No. Each non-empty line is one entry. A choice listed more than once can be selected more often.

Are my choices uploaded?

No. The list is processed in the current browser tab.

Does the picker remove a chosen option for the next draw?

No. Each selection uses the current list again. Remove a selected option yourself if you want to draw without replacement.

Is this suitable for an official prize draw?

Use a process with published rules and an auditable record for high-stakes or regulated selections; this browser picker is intended for casual decisions.
