Wyoming Lottery Act
Wyoming · Administration of the Government · §§ 9-17-101 to 9-17-128 · 27 sections
Overview
The act establishes a state-operated lottery, creating a public lottery authority governed by a board of directors and headed by a chief executive officer, and empowering it to authorize lottery games and adopt the rules under which they are run. It sets the terms on which retailers contract to sell tickets — commissions, bonding, and grounds for termination — and governs how prizes are drawn and paid, how unclaimed prizes and winnings subject to certain debts owed to the state are handled, and how lottery revenue is allocated and financed. It also builds in integrity and accountability controls: security and background requirements for personnel, vendor and conflict-of-interest disclosures, disclosure of the odds of winning, competitive procurement, internal and independent audits with legislative oversight, and criminal penalties for fraud, forgery, and unlawful sale or purchase of tickets.
