Wyoming Lottery Ticket Purchase Rules

Last scannedOct 19, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This bill proposed changing the rules about who can buy lottery tickets or claim prizes for lotteries involving the Wyoming Lottery Corporation.

What it does

  • Proposes to change the law to apply to lotteries in which the Wyoming Lottery Corporation participates, rather than just those run by the board.
  • Maintains the rule that board members, officers, and employees cannot buy tickets or claim prizes.
  • Maintains the rule that spouses, children, brothers, sisters, or parents living in the same household as board members, officers, or employees cannot buy tickets or claim prizes.
  • Maintains the rule that officers, employees, agents, or subcontractors of vendors with access to confidential information cannot buy tickets or claim prizes.
  • Maintains the rule that spouses, children, brothers, sisters, or parents living in the same household as those vendor staff cannot buy tickets or claim prizes.
  • Sets an effective date of July 1, 2014, if the bill passes.

Who it affects

  • Members of the Wyoming Lottery Corporation board of directors.
  • Officers and employees of the Wyoming Lottery Corporation.
  • Spouses, children, brothers, sisters, or parents living in the same household as board members, officers, or employees.
  • Officers, employees, agents, or subcontractors of lottery vendors who have access to confidential information.

Limits and unknowns

  • The bill did not pass in the 2014 session, so these changes did not become law at that time.
  • The source text does not explain why the sponsors wanted to change the wording from 'run by the board' to 'in which the corporation participates.'
  • The source does not list specific vendors or individuals who would be affected.
