How this page works it out
This page picks one of the names you typed, one name on each line. Ana, Bo, and Cy are three slices. Draw 1 is Bo, draw 0 is Ana, and draw 2 is Cy. The pointer stays at the top and the wheel turns until that slice sits under it.
The wheel takes 2 to 24 names. One name and 25 names stop. A name longer than 40 characters stops. Blank lines are skipped. A draw is a 32-bit value. The leftover above a multiple of the name count is dropped and drawn again, so each name is equally likely.
The spin stays in this browser. The dice page rolls numbered faces, and this page picks a line you typed. Closing the tab clears the result. Nothing is sent to a server.
