Since lottery tickets first started being sold in Wyoming last August, more than $5 million have been won by WyoLotto players across the Cowboy State. The Wyoming Lottery started their own game on March 15 called Cowboy Draw. So far there have been four winners of jackpots, all over $250,000. The historic first jackpot was the largest given away yet. It was picked up by a couple in Douglas who won $628,630. The current jackpot has reached $420,000.

Now that the Wyoming Lottery has been running for a year, how do you think it's gone so far? Do you think the WyoLotto needs to be overseen by a lottery commission?
