Prize Wheel with Odds — tiered probability for games

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Prize Wheel with Odds?
- A Prize Wheel with Odds is a spin wheel where each prize tier has a custom probability weight. Grand prizes have low weight (rare) and consolation prizes have high weight (common), matching how real prize distributions work in games and events.
- Should I use this for a raffle?
- No. For a fair raffle every participant should have an equal chance. Use the standard equal-odds picker wheel for raffles and giveaways. A weighted prize wheel is designed for game mechanics and educational simulations.
- Can I add custom prize names?
- Yes. Edit the entry labels in the Inputs panel to match your prize names — Gift Card, Homework Pass, Mystery Box, and so on.
- How do I make the grand prize rarer?
- Lower the grand prize weight relative to the other entries. For example, Consolation: 50, Mid Prize: 35, Grand Prize: 15 gives a 15% grand prize chance.
- Are the probabilities visible to participants?
- Yes. Every percentage is displayed next to each entry so participants can see the true odds before spinning.
