Lottery amendments.
SF 56 amends Wyoming's lottery laws to allow the purchase of lottery tickets using virtual currency, as defined by state law. This directly affects lottery players who wish to use virtual currency and retailers who sell tickets. The bill specifically adds virtual currency as an approved payment method under existing regulations, while maintaining that all other sales must be for cash only (prohibiting checks, credit cards, etc.). The change took effect on July 1, 2022.
