How We Guarantee Randomness: To ensure genuinely unpredictable results, this site does not use the standard Math.random() function. Instead, the wheel's physics are driven by crypto.getRandomValues(), a specialized, high-security function built into modern web browsers. This cryptographically secure function uses high-entropy sources from your operating system, like hardware timings, mouse movements, and keyboard delays, to generate truly unpredictable results.

This secure random number isn't just used to pick a winner from a list. It's used within the physics simulation of the wheel, ensuring the outcome is genuinely random and impossible to predict.

How Come I Got the Same Result Twice? This is a great question, and it's actually a normal part of true randomness. Think of it like flipping a fair coin. It's entirely possible to get "Heads" three times in a row. Each spin of the wheel is a completely new, independent event. Past results have zero influence on the next outcome.

If you want to make sure that a winner doesn't get picked again, remove the winner after each spin by clicking the Remove button.
