How to run a Diwali lucky draw online
No Diwali party is complete without a lucky draw — and this wheel replaces the bowl of folded paper chits entirely. Add every guest's name (one per line, or paste your list), keep Elimination mode on so each winner is removed as they are drawn, and spin once per prize from the smallest gift up to the grand prize. Each spin uses your browser's secure random generator, so there is genuinely no way to rig it — and everyone can watch the wheel land on a winner in real time. Tap Share result to send the winner card straight to your family or office WhatsApp group.
Perfect for these Diwali celebrations
- Office Diwali party: draw names for gift hampers, sweets boxes or the grand prize in front of the whole team.
- Housing society event: run the annual society lucky draw on a projector so every flat can see it is fair.
- Family gathering: add cousins, uncles and aunties and let the wheel pick who wins the taash-night pot or the biggest mithai box.
- School Diwali mela: use it at a stall to pick raffle winners without printing tickets.
- Online gift exchange: spin over a video call so far-away relatives can join the celebration too.
Tips for a fair Diwali lucky draw
Show the full list of names on the screen before you spin, so everyone can confirm they are included. Use Elimination mode when you have several prizes so nobody wins twice. Screenshot or share the winner card as a record, and share the wheel link so anyone can reopen the exact same draw and verify it. Light the diyas, gather around the phone, and let Wheel Bolo pick your winners. Shubh Deepavali!
