Names are not the only thing worth drawing fairly. Picking a raffle ticket number, choosing a page to read aloud, assigning a random slot — these all want a whole number that no one in the room can argue with. A number wheel makes that draw visible, which is often the point.
Set the range
Choose a start and end value. WheelMigo builds one slot per whole number in that range, up to 1,000 values, so a range of 1–30 puts thirty equally likely numbers on the wheel. Because each number is its own slot, the odds are exactly even — there is no weighting toward round numbers or the middle of the range.
Draw one or several
Spin once for a single number. If you need several distinct numbers — say, three raffle winners — draw a batch, and within that batch WheelMigo returns different numbers rather than repeating one. Turn on no-repeat rounds if you want to keep drawing across a session without a number coming up twice.
The same fair engine as names
A number wheel is not a different kind of randomness. It uses the same method as the name picker: the result is chosen with the browser's crypto.getRandomValues and rejection sampling before the wheel animates, then revealed. Spin speed and timing do not change the outcome.
When a wheel is the wrong tool
Wheel, dice or generator?
A number wheel is not always the right tool. Here is when it wins and when something simpler or heavier fits better:
| Tool | Best for | Range | Visible to a group? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number wheel | A shared, fair draw | Up to 1,000 values | Yes |
| Dice | A quick private roll | Tiny (2–12) | In person only |
| Random generator | Bulk or very large ranges | Millions and up | No |
Be honest about fit. For a quick private choice a die or a phone's random function is faster. For very large ranges (millions of values) or generating thousands of numbers, a dedicated random-number generator is more practical than a wheel. And like every WheelMigo tool, this is for casual and classroom use, not certified lottery draws.
