A random number generator everyone can see
A number picker wheel draws a random number in plain sight, which is why it suits raffles at the footy club, classroom games and trivia nights. Set a range and a step, type your own list, or build a longer number digit by digit. Leave out numbers you do not want, and take each drawn number off the wheel so nothing comes up twice.
How to pick a random number
- Choose a range, a list of your own numbers, or digit by digit.
- Set the range and step or type the list, and leave out any numbers you want to skip.
- Spin. The wheel stops on your random number.
- Hide each number after it comes up to keep drawing without repeats.
Ways to use the number picker
- Draw the winning ticket in a club raffle.
- Pick a random question or page number in class.
- Call bingo-style numbers at a party or a fete.
- Decide the batting order by player number.
- Build a random four-digit number for a game or a puzzle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pick a random number between two numbers?
Enter the lowest and the highest number in a number picker wheel and spin. Every whole number in that range gets an equal slice, so each one has the same chance of being picked.
Can the wheel skip numbers or avoid repeats?
Type the numbers to skip in the leave-out list, such as 7, 13 or (20;25). In the SpinnerWheel number picker, hiding a number after it comes up adds it to that list, so later spins cannot pick it again.
What does digit by digit mean?
Digit by digit builds a longer number one spin at a time, like a lottery draw. Each spin picks the next digit, each digit can have its own range, and the whole number appears once the last digit is drawn.
How many numbers can the wheel hold?
The SpinnerWheel number picker holds up to 1,000 numbers at once. For a bigger range, use a step, such as every fifth number, or build the number digit by digit.
Is the number picker really random?
Every number on the wheel gets an equal slice, and the browser’s random number generator decides where the wheel stops, so each number has the same chance. Nothing is decided in advance.
