Weighted Random Wheel Picker
A weighted random wheel lets every option stay in the draw while giving some entries a higher or lower chance of being selected. It is useful for priority queues, reward tables, classroom prompts, game choices, and low-stakes organiser decisions.
How weights work
In Spinly, each entry can receive a number. A higher number gives that option more chances in the draw. A weight of 3 is roughly three times as likely as a weight of 1, while still allowing the lower-weight option to win.
This makes weighted mode different from sequence mode. Weighted mode still uses randomness; sequence mode follows a planned order.
Good examples
Use a weighted random wheel for game loot tables, classroom question difficulty, meal ideas you want more often, or support queues where urgent items need extra chance. Keep the weights simple so everyone can understand the setup.
For serious public draws, publish the rules before the draw and avoid changing weights after people have joined.
