This article shows how to use TranslateTransitions, FadeTransitions, Timelines and Timeline chaining to implement a simple lottery wheel where names rotate around a point. The wheel reduces its speed continuously and at the end the winner name is highlighted. The names are loaded from a simple text file and positioned around the middle point. The winner is indicated by an arrow which is created with a Path. The Font size and the Color of the names depends on the angle where they are placed around the circle.
