WyoLotto transfers $1 million to cities, towns, counties

CHEYENNE (WNE) — WyoLotto officials announced the January 2024 transfer to Wyoming’s cities, towns and counties will be just over $1 million.
 
Each quarter, the organization transfers a statutory amount of 75% or more of net revenue to the state, where it is then distributed by the state treasurer to Wyoming’s cities, towns and counties.
 
This brings the running total to $36.67 million going directly back to the state from Wyo-Lotto since its launch in 2014.
 
“With high jackpots that raise awareness of our products and new revenue from our recent game launch of KENO, our quarterly transfer is a direct reflection of how well sales have been during this last quarter,” WyoLotto CEO Jon Clontz said in a news release.
 
The Powerball jackpot reached $1.73 billion in October and $760 million during December. At the same time, WyoLotto’s own game, Cowboy Draw, grew to $1.2 million in October and nearly $800,000 in December.
