The “test drive a win” where it would generate AI images of people as lottery winners was a real thing, and they have taken it down.
Only larger news outlet I see covering it is Fox news. They cite the “mynorthwest.com” as their main source, but they do say that they recieved a statement from the lottery confirming that it was shutdown for that reason:
Washington’s Lottery confirmed to Fox News Digital that it shut down the site after being made aware of the purported image.
Obviously a lot of people don’t like Fox news, but I don’t think there’s a political agenda where that statement shouldn’t be trusted.

This site is a complete right-wing boomerbait rag, never pay it any attention.
People think of WA and think of Seattle, then extrapolate. Seattle is really no different than places like Omaha where there is a more liberal, educated populace. They are surrounded by a state full of angry, ignorant people. This “newspaper” is for the angry types.
