The Wyoming Lottery Corporation has named an Oregon man to serve as its first chief executive officer. The corporation on Monday announced the selection of Jon Clontz as CEO. He's set to start in Wyoming in early October. Clontz comes from Oregon, where he's served as deputy director with the Oregon Lottery for the past two years. Brian Scott Gamroth is chairman of the Wyoming Lottery Corporation board. The Wyoming Legislature approved the creation of a state lottery early this year. Gov. Matt Mead appointed the nine-member lottery board this summer. Officials hope to have the lottery up and running next year. Gamroth says Clontz's leadership qualities, communication skills and record with the Oregon Lottery give the board confidence in his ability to get the Wyoming Lottery going.
