Illinois Lottery gave a statement on Tuesday saying, "without a new budget plan or any special legislation, it won't be able to pay anyone winning $25,000 or more come July 1."
The last time Illinois did that was in late 2015 which led to bunch of lawsuits and $70 million in lost sales. The General Assembly eventually passed a special bill that allowed the agency to pay out the nearly 3,900 stacked-up claims.
the multistate organizations that run both Powerball and Mega Millions have told Illinois to stop selling tickets to those games this week if no budget deal is reached.
When will the Fed stop printing fake money??
