Well the ACTUAL story is in Illinois there is a budget battle going on and the lottery commission budget is part of it. The state is mandated to pay out lottery winners, and is doing so as long as your prize is $600 or less.
For now, those with larger prizes have to wait until the pending bills are passed, and full funding is restored. It would suck though to have a million dollar ticket in your hands and have some government clerk say "Sorry. You'll have to wait until we have the money to pay you." I'm thinking some people would snap. Me? I'd sue for breach of contract. I give you money, you give me a ticket. If my ticket wins, I get my prize. Simple. You deny me my legally claimed prize? I sue your butt for 10 times what I won. |

Maybe Obama's political friends from back in day will ask Obama for another bailout ...& the Supreme Court can step in & remind them they are on their own, like every other state.

$288, 000, 000 shortfall you lnow working taxpayers are going to pay that Absolutely. Even with a bailout we would. * I just never got over the b@lls it took to ask TWICE for a bailout. .... Like a loan for old friends ? I think too many people HEAR what our government & states pay for & do not realize or care that it is actually both middle-class's paying, & usually with little or no say .... Nobody get me started on that. * |
