Random number wheel: spin 1–10, 1–50 or 1–100

A random number generator the whole room can watch land.

Sometimes you need a random number and a plain generator feels flat: a button, a number, done. A number wheel does the same job in the open — the group watches 1 to 30 sweep past and slow onto the winner. For classrooms, games night, raffles with numbered tickets and anything bingo-shaped, the visible spin is the point.

Make a number wheel in under a minute

  1. Open the SpinKit wheel.
  2. Paste your numbers, one per line. Tip: type 1, 2, 3… in a spreadsheet column, drag the fill handle down, and paste the column straight in.
  3. Spin — every number gets an identical slice and an identical chance.

Pick the right range

Raffle tip: put the ticket numbers you actually sold on the wheel rather than a clean 1–100. Then every spin lands on a real ticket and there are no dead draws.

No repeats: the bingo pattern

For bingo, tombolas and any draw-until-done game, switch on remove winner on spin. Each drawn number leaves the wheel, the pool shrinks, and nothing can come up twice — the digital version of pulling balls from a cage. The spin history doubles as your call record, and there's a full bingo caller guide if you're running a proper game.

Independent draws: leave repeats in

If each draw stands alone — dice-style rolls, random page numbers, picking a number for a game round — leave removal off. Getting the same number twice in a row is unlikely but perfectly fair, and removing numbers would quietly distort the odds of everything left.

Where a wheel isn't the right tool

Need a number between 1 and 10,000, or a thousand draws at once? That's spreadsheet territory: a Spin Sheet pulls random rows from any list at any size, and exports the results. The wheel earns its place when people are watching.
