Spin the wheel Raffle prize wheel
A prize booth that runs itself
Fall festivals, PTA fundraisers, church suppers and holiday parties at work often end up with a table of donated prizes and no good way to hand them out. Drawing tickets from a bowl is slow and only a few people win. With a prize wheel, each ticket holder steps up, spins, and takes home whatever it lands on.
The list starts with 24 ordinary prizes that local businesses and parents tend to donate: a homemade pie, a plant, a cookbook, a car wash voucher, a big gift basket as the top prize. Replace them with the things actually on your table before the doors open. If you only have one of an item, take it off the wheel once it is gone.
Prefer the classic draw, where names or ticket numbers go on the wheel and each spin picks a winner? Paste the ticket numbers instead of the prizes and the same page works that way.

Running the raffle booth
- Open Entries and type the prizes you collected, one per line. A prize you have plenty of can come up more often with a weight, like
Tote bag *4. - Put the laptop on the prize table or connect it to a TV and press Present, so the line can watch.
- Each ticket holder presses Spin or taps the wheel. When a prize runs out, press Remove from wheel in the result window.
- Check the Results tab at the end to see which prizes went out and in what order.

Raffle wheel questions
How do I make the big prize rare?
Give the common prizes a weight instead. If the small items are written as Coffee mug *3, they come up three times as often as the gift basket, which stays on the wheel once.
Can I add a few spin again fields?
Yes, type Spin again as an entry. For a kids booth, though, it is kinder to keep every field a prize, even if some of them are just a pencil or a sticker sheet.
Can the wheel draw ticket numbers instead?
Yes. Paste the numbers or the names of everyone who has a ticket, spin once per prize, and press Remove from wheel after each win so no one wins twice. For long runs of numbers, the random number picker on this site is quicker.
Do I need internet at the venue?
Once the page has loaded, the spin happens in your browser. Open it before the event starts and keep the tab open, and the booth keeps working on a weak connection.
