Wyoming Lottery to start its first in-state game in MarchReply
The Wyoming lottery isn't allowed by law to sell scratchers. Ludicrous! Some state lotteries derive about 60% of their gross income from scratchers, and they're enormously popular with the players. Swing and a miss for the Wyoming legislature!

Wyoming Lottery kicks off media blitzReply
As of 2012, Wyoming's population was 576,412. Wow, some of the smallest mid sized cities in America have a bigger population then that of the entire state of Wyoming.

Wyoming House gives preliminary OK to lottery billReply
Lawmakers are frigging idiots. If people want to gamble, they're gonna gamble regardless of the law. People in Wyoming already drive south into Colorado to buy their tickets. This can only help the state of Wyoming.
