The 4 stores listed here are the Wyoming lottery retailers that have sold the biggest prizes — from multi-million dollar Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots to top-tier scratch ticket winners. Every retailer is ranked by the largest single prize sold at that location.
Wyoming participates in Powerball, Mega Millions, Millionaire for Life and more. Tickets are sold at licensed retailers statewide — gas stations, convenience stores, supermarkets, and specialty shops. High-volume locations sell more tickets, so they naturally rack up more winning tickets over time — that's a reflection of sales volume, not better odds. Every individual ticket has exactly the same odds no matter where it's purchased.

Any of the licensed retailers above — and thousands more across Wyoming that simply haven't sold a documented major prize yet — can sell you a ticket for whichever games the state offers. There's no special line, membership, or app required at the register; you ask for the game by name, pick your numbers or take a quick pick, and pay like any other purchase. Most locations that sell lottery tickets also cash small prizes (typically under $600) on the spot, which is the fastest way to collect if you match a few numbers on a draw game or hit a modest scratch-off prize.
Wyoming does not withhold state income tax on lottery winnings. Wyoming has no state income tax, so no state withholding applies to lottery winnings. Federal withholding of 24% still applies to prizes over $5,000. When it comes to staying out of the spotlight, anonymous claims allowed in Wyoming: Winners may remain fully anonymous, no prize threshold.
For bigger prizes, you'll typically need to visit an official Wyoming Lottery claim center rather than the store where you bought the ticket — bring a government photo ID, the signed ticket, and be ready to fill out a claim form. Jackpot-sized wins from Powerball or Mega Millions almost always require scheduling an appointment and may involve a short waiting period before funds are released while the ticket is validated. Claim windows are generally somewhere between 90 days and a year depending on the game — confirm the exact deadline with the Wyoming Lottery.
