Questions
Is the wheel fair?
The winner is chosen with your browser's cryptographic random generator (crypto.getRandomValues) using rejection sampling, so every name has the same chance. The wheel animation then lands on that pre-chosen name; the spin itself does not decide the result.
Can the same name be picked twice?
Not within one draw of several names. Turn on Remove picked names from the list to keep earlier winners out of later spins or draws.
Is it suitable for an official prize draw?
It gives each name equal odds in this browser, but it keeps no audit record. Check any legal or competition rules that apply to your draw.
