What WYOMING LOTTERY CORPORATION does

Wyoming Lottery Corporation (dba WyoLotto) is a state government-owned lottery operator founded in 2013 and headquartered at 808 W. 20th St., Cheyenne, Wyoming. It is exclusively authorized under Wyoming legislation to conduct draw-based lottery games within the state; scratch games are statutorily prohibited. The corporation is led by CEO Jon Clontz, who has held the role since inception, alongside a Chief Security Officer, a media contact, and a retailer-relations contact, reflecting a lean operational headcount of approximately six employees. As a state benefit entity, net proceeds from ticket sales are transferred to the Wyoming State Treasurer and distributed quarterly to cities, towns, and counties.

The product portfolio comprises six draw-based games: multi-state offerings Powerball and Mega Millions; Wyoming-exclusive Cowboy Draw; daily game 2by2; high-frequency Keno (draws every four minutes); and Millionaire for Life, which replaced Lucky for Life in February 2026 following the latter's national discontinuation. Ticket prices range from $1 (2by2, Keno) to $5 (Cowboy Draw, Mega Millions, Millionaire for Life), with Powerball at $2 and a Round Up bundle covering all six games at $20. Distribution combines a statewide network of authorized retail retailers, who receive a 6% sales commission, a 1% validation bonus, and free point-of-sale equipment, with the WyoLotto mobile app on iOS and Android, which provides barcode-based ticket scanning, account management, push notifications, and result lookup across up to 90 days of drawings. A web-based 'Keno to Go' feature offers live drawing viewing.

Revenue mechanics are transaction-based: players pay ticket prices, a share funds prizes and retailer commissions, and the residual net proceeds fund Wyoming municipalities. The corporation pursues responsible-gambling initiatives through the Wyoming Responsible Gambling Coalition, co-founded with the Wyoming Department of Health in March 2024, and graduated from the NASPL/NCPG Responsible Gambling Verification Program the same month. The organization also maintains WCAG 2.0 AA, PDF/UA, ADA Title III, and Section 508 accessibility compliance for its digital properties, audited by third-party specialists. Geographic operations are confined to Wyoming; there is no private equity or venture capital ownership.
