Make the draw clear and easy to follow

A giveaway picker should make the candidate list and selection process visible. Paste eligible names, remove duplicates, confirm the final list, and spin in front of the audience or record the draw for later publication.

The random result is generated before the animation begins, while the wheel provides a clear visual reveal. Save the setup and export the result history when you need a simple record of the draw.

Getting a useful result

How to use these tools well

Clean the entry list first

Every segment gets the same chance, so a name entered twice has twice the chance of winning. Paste the eligible entrants into the giveaway winner picker, read through for duplicates and delete the repeats unless extra entries are part of your rules. Take out anyone who did not meet the conditions before you spin rather than after, and rename entries to one consistent format so two spellings of the same person are easy to see. The list is the part people will question, so it deserves more care than the spin.

Make the draw checkable

Show the finished list on screen at a readable size before spinning, then record or stream the draw so the entries and the result sit in the same clip. The winner comes from the browser's cryptographic random number generator and is decided before the animation starts, which means a slow spin is a reveal rather than a live decision. Spin history keeps the sequence when you are drawing several winners, and saving the wheel locally means the exact setup is still there if someone asks about it later.

Draw runners-up in one go

Winners go quiet and prizes go unclaimed, so draw more names than you need in the same session. With no-repeat or elimination on, each name leaves the pool as it is drawn, giving you a winner and a ranked list of reserves with nobody appearing twice. Say beforehand how many reserves you are drawing and how long a winner has to reply. One thing this tool does not do is the legal side: prize promotions carry requirements that vary by country and by platform, and checking those remains yours.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you keep a record of the draw?

Nothing is uploaded and there is no account, so no record exists anywhere except in your own browser. Spin history shows the results from the current session, and saving the wheel locally keeps the entry list on that device. If you need something to show entrants, record the screen while you draw, because that captures the list and the result together.

Can I give some entrants better odds?

Weighted odds do that without pasting a name in twice. Set a higher weight for entries that earned bonus chances and the segment grows, with the live probability shown beside each name so you can check the numbers match what you promised. Publish the weighting alongside the rules before entries open, because an uneven wheel that nobody was told about looks like a rigged one.

Should the person spinning be in the list?

If staff or the host are eligible under your own rules, they go in like anyone else, but say so before the draw rather than after a familiar name lands. Where they are not eligible, remove them while you are building the list so they never appear on the wheel at all. A name on screen that turns out to be excluded loses an audience quickly.
