Wyoming Lottery Draw Games
The Wyoming Lottery offers five draw games, from a daily fixed-prize game to multi-state mega-jackpots. Established in 2014 after Governor Matt Mead signed HB 77 in March 2013, Wyoming was the 44th state to launch a lottery and remains one of the newest in the country. Tickets went on sale August 24, 2014. Revenue is directed to education — the first $6 million goes to cities and counties, with the remainder funding the Hathaway Scholarship and Education Trust Fund. Wyoming levies 0% state tax on lottery winnings because the state has no income tax, making it one of the most tax-friendly states for lottery winners. Notably, Wyoming law prohibits scratch-off tickets, making it one of only two states (along with North Dakota) with a draw-only lottery.
Cowboy Draw (5/45)
Cowboy Draw is Wyoming's exclusive jackpot game. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 45, drawn Monday and Thursday at 2 PM MT. Each $5 ticket includes two sets of numbers for two chances to win. The starting jackpot is $250,000 and rolls until won. As the only Wyoming-specific jackpot game, Cowboy Draw offers significantly better odds than national games while still building substantial prizes. The dual-play format at the $5 price point is unique among state lottery games.
2by2 (2 red 1-26 + 2 white 1-26)
2by2 is a daily game with a fixed $22,000 top prize. Pick 2 red numbers from 1 to 26 and 2 white numbers from 1 to 26, drawn daily at 8:30 PM MT. The dual-pool format creates a unique game structure shared with a small number of other states. With seven draws per week and multiple prize tiers, 2by2 offers the most frequent play opportunities in the Wyoming Lottery lineup.
Millionaire for Life (5/58 + Lucky Ball 1/5)
Millionaire for Life offers the largest recurring payouts. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 58 plus a Lucky Ball from 1 to 5, drawn daily at 9:15 PM MT. The top prize is $1 million per year for life. Seven prize tiers from $5 up to the top prize give players multiple ways to win. The recurring payout structure appeals to players who prefer steady income over a single lump sum.
Powerball (5/69 + 1/26)
Powerball draws Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 69 plus a Powerball from 1 to 26. The Power Play multiplier can boost non-jackpot prizes up to 10x for an extra $1. Jackpot odds are 1 in 292,201,338. With no state income tax in Wyoming, Powerball winners keep more of their prize than in most other states.
Mega Millions (5/70 + 1/24)
Mega Millions draws Tuesday and Friday evenings. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 70 plus a Mega Ball from 1 to 24. Every Mega Millions ticket now includes a built-in random multiplier of 2x to 10x that boosts non-jackpot prizes at no extra cost. Jackpot odds are 1 in 290,472,336. Like Powerball, Wyoming's zero state tax makes Mega Millions wins especially valuable here.
