WyoLotto has announced that it will transfer $1,537,737.64 to Wyoming’s cities, towns, and counties as part of its January 2026 quarterly distribution. The funds represent a portion of the lottery’s net revenue, with at least 75 percent transferred each quarter in accordance with state law. These distributions are managed by the State Treasurer and directed to local governments across Wyoming.
Since WyoLotto launched in August 2014, more than $45.6 million has been distributed back to the state from lottery proceeds. Quarterly transfers began in April 2016 after WyoLotto paid off its start-up loan, which was obtained from Jonah Bank without using any state funding.
“This last year has been a big jackpot year for us,” said WyoLotto CEO Jon Clontz. “Powerball exceeded $1 billion twice, and Cowboy Draw was over $2 million. When these jackpots get that big, our players have a lot of fun trying to win. And the bonus is—that money goes right back to their communities where they live and play,” Clontz added.
In addition to transferring funds to local governments, WyoLotto reports that it has paid out over $158 million in winnings to about 17 million winners since its inception.
A record of each transfer made by WyoLotto can be found on the State Treasurer’s website at https://statetreasurer.wyo.gov/financial/distributions/.
