World Cup sweepstake ideas
Known as a soccer team picker in the United States and Canada and a football team picker elsewhere, the wheel works the same way for both. A simple way to run a sweepstake is to have each participant spin the wheel in turn and keep their assigned team. Use Remove & Continue after each spin so no team is assigned twice. Spin down through all 48 teams or stop when everyone has one.

How the wheel works
How does the wheel choose a team?
The wheel selects a result randomly before the animation starts. It then calculates the exact final rotation needed to land that result under the pointer. The displayed team always matches where the wheel visually stops.
Is every team equally likely to be picked?
Yes. Every team on the wheel has an equal chance of being selected. The wheel uses your browser's built-in random number generator with no weighting or bias.
Can results be influenced?
The selection is made inside your browser using its built-in random number generator, and the wheel then animates to that already-chosen result, so the winner shown is the segment it lands on. No server is involved in choosing the result.
