WyoLotto officials announced this week the Board of Directors elected a new chairman and vice chair to lead the Board during a special session meeting on June 21, 2021. The Board meets regularly each quarter, with special sessions as needed and a formal special session every June.
“We are happy to announce that the new chairman of the Board will be Jim Willox from Douglas, who has been with the Board since 2017,” said Jon Clontz, WyoLotto CEO.
