A giveaway winner picker for Instagram comments
The comment picker draws giveaway winners from the comments on an Instagram post. Copy the comments from instagram.com and paste them in: the picker finds each commenter and what they wrote, and the comments stay in your browser. Keep one entry per person, count only comments that tag enough friends, leave out your own account, then spin for one winner or several, with reserves in case a winner does not reply.
How to pick a winner from Instagram comments
- Open the post on instagram.com on a computer and load all the comments.
- Select the comments, copy them and paste them into the comment box.
- Set the rules: one entry per person, the accounts a comment must tag and the accounts to leave out.
- Choose the number of winners and spin. Disqualify a winner to draw that place again.
Ways to use the comment picker
- Draw the winner of an Instagram giveaway from the comments on the post.
- Draw several winners, plus reserves in case someone does not reply.
- Pick winners from a TikTok, YouTube or Facebook giveaway by pasting one @name per line.
- Pick a random follower to feature in a story or to answer a question.
- Run a mystery draw where the name shows only when the wheel stops.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pick a random winner from Instagram comments?
Copy the comments from the post on instagram.com, paste them into the SpinnerWheel comment picker and spin. The picker reads each commenter and comment, applies the rules you set and draws a random winner.
Do I need to log in to Instagram or connect my account?
The SpinnerWheel comment picker does not connect to Instagram and needs no login. The comments are pasted in and read in your browser, so they are never uploaded or saved.
Can the same person win twice?
Each person can be drawn once. With one entry per person, someone who commented several times still has one chance; with it off, every comment is an entry, but a person who has won leaves the draw.
How does the tag rule work?
The tag rule counts the different accounts a comment tags with @. Set it to 2 and only comments that tag at least two other accounts enter the draw; the commenter’s own name does not count.
What happens when a winner is disqualified?
A disqualified person leaves the draw for good, and the next spin draws their place again. Every spin after the last place draws a reserve, in case a winner does not reply.
