Set up a prize wheel in three steps
List the prizes you really have
Start from the default list or the booth or stream variant, then rename entries to match your stock. Add a prize twice to make it twice as likely.
Decide whether prizes run out
Turn on Remove the winner after each spin when you only have one of each item, so a prize disappears from the wheel once it's claimed.
Spin where everyone can see
Put the page on a tablet or monitor facing the crowd, or share the link with your co-host. The last spins stay listed for checking.

How to set prize odds fairly
On a standard wheel every slice has the same chance: with 12 entries, each one wins 1 time in 12, or about 8.3% of spins. That's the simplest setup to explain to players, and it's what this page uses.
If a prize should be rarer, you have two honest options. Either add more entries for cheap or common prizes so the expensive one becomes a smaller share, or open the wheel in the full editor and give each prize an exact percentage. In the full editor the slice size follows the percentage, so what players see matches their real chance.
Avoid a wheel where a big slice is labelled with the grand prize but the odds are secretly set lower. Players notice, and in many places it counts as misleading advertising.
| Setup | Chance of the grand prize per spin | Grand prizes per 100 spins |
|---|---|---|
| 12 equal slices, 1 grand prize | 1 in 12, about 8.3% | About 8 |
| 20 equal slices, 1 grand prize | 1 in 20, 5% | About 5 |
| 12 slices, 3 of them Try again | Still 1 in 12, but a quarter of spins win nothing | About 8 |
| Full editor, grand prize set to 1% | 1 in 100 | About 1 on average |
| Remove winner on, 1 grand prize | Rises after every spin until it's won | Exactly 1 in total |
Averages are averages. A 1% prize can come up on the first spin or not at all in 300 spins, so keep a spare if running out would be a problem.
Disclose the odds and keep the giveaway above board
Rules for prize promotions differ by country and even by state. In many places a game where people pay for a chance to win can count as a lottery or gambling, while a free spin, or one that comes with a normal purchase, is usually treated as a promotion. If you plan to charge for spins, check your local rules first.
Whatever the rules, being open about how the wheel works keeps players happy and protects you if someone complains.
- Post the full prize list and how many of each prize you have next to the screen or in the stream description.
- Say whether prizes are removed once won, and what happens when the grand prize is gone.
- Keep the Recent spins list on screen or take a photo at the end of the day as a simple record.
- Set an age limit for alcohol, vouchers or anything else you can't legally give to minors.
- Never re-spin a result you don't like. If you need a rule such as one spin per person, announce it before you start.
Match the wheel to your stock
For a one-day booth with 40 tote bags, 15 water bottles and one headphone set, the easiest fair method is one entry per physical prize, with remove-winner mode switched on. The wheel shrinks as stock runs out, and the headphones can't be won twice.
With hundreds of small giveaways that's too many slices to read. Use the default equal wheel with prize types instead, a few Try again slices to stretch your stock, and refill or reset the wheel at the start of each session.
Frequently asked questions
Is this prize wheel really random?
Yes. The stopping point comes from your browser's cryptographic random number generator, and with equal slices every prize has exactly the same chance. Nobody, including us, can steer the result.
How do I make the grand prize harder to win?
Add more entries for small prizes so the grand prize is a smaller share of the wheel, or open the wheel in the full editor and set exact percentages, for example 1% for the grand prize and the rest split across common prizes.
Can I stop the same prize being won twice?
Tick Remove the winner after each spin. Each prize is taken off the wheel as soon as it wins, so it can't come up again until you press Reset to template.
Can I use the prize wheel on a live stream?
Yes. Capture the browser window in OBS or your streaming app, or use the full editor's fullscreen view. Viewers see the wheel spin live, and the share link lets a moderator run the same wheel.
Do I have to tell players the odds?
It depends on where you are and how people enter, but posting the prize list and odds is good practice everywhere. If entry costs money, check your local lottery and promotion rules before you run it.
Will my prize list be saved?
Your edits are stored in this browser on this device, so the wheel is still there if you reload. To use it on another device, copy the share link, which carries the whole list.
