The Wyoming Lottery Corporation has made a significant impact on the state in its first decade of existence, contributing over $180 million in various ways. It started when WyoLotto repaid its startup loan ahead of schedule to expedite quarterly transfers to the state. Since then, WyoLotto has transferred over $38 million to Wyoming cities, towns, and counties. Unlike other state lottery legislation which dictates what funds can be used for, Wyoming gives these communities the freedom to fund what matters most to them — such as schools, parks and roadwork.
In addition to these transfers, WyoLotto has created over 12 million winning moments across Wyoming, from Afton to Elk Mountain, Gillette to Rock Springs and more. With games offering unheard-of jackpots, the organization has made over 20 millionaires and has had over $130 million in winnings in its first decade. WyoLotto proudly supports local retailers and other businesses, paying out over $19 million in commissions and sponsoring entities like the University of Wyoming and local events.
Jon Clontz, WyoLotto’s founding CEO, has been the leader since inception, drawing from his years of experience with the Oregon lottery. His vision has guided the organization through a decade of success and growth, establishing WyoLotto as a trusted, community-focused entity. While WyoLotto is one of the smallest lottery teams in the country, it continues to be a leader in the industry, gaining national recognition amongst other lotteries for giving back and promotion of responsible gambling.
“We’re proud of the impact we’ve made in Wyoming over the past decade,” said Clontz. “We are a fun and inexpensive entertainment option that started in Wyoming, based here in Wyoming and focused solely on Wyoming. We’re committed to continuing to give back to our state and its residents in the years to come.”
