This is not what Lottery jackpot winners signed up for.
The Illinois Lottery is refusing to issue checks to Lottery winners, including the $262 million MegaMillion jackpot winner.
So lotto winners who were hoping to drop $199K on that new 2016 Range Rover V8 Supercharged beast will just have to wait.
State officials claim the money isn’t in the budget to issue checks larger than $25,000. The state is in the red to the tune of $5 billion, and they are working to hammer out a new fiscal budget.
Illinois Lottery officials claim the money to pay Lottery winners is there, but the “legal authority” to issue the payments is not.
That’s little comfort to Lottery winners who have grown accustomed to living above their means and are depending on those huge checks to pay for their multimillion mortgages, Rolls Royces and Bentleys.
2 winners have outgrown their patience. They filed lawsuits against the state demanding their money — and a little extra on top for the inconvenience of broke people problems.
“You dream about winning the lottery all your life and it finally happened, and you don’t get paid,” Lottery winner Daniel Chasteen told The Wall Street Journal.
Great! Now I can't even dream about winning the lottery ???????? #Illinois http://t.co/QTEAChYXqD

I think wic had problems at one point but I’m not sure now. People are getting food stamps but certain rent or utility programs don’t have funds to help people. There is a daycare that provides crisis nursery care if a parent is too stressed or fearing harming their child they aren’t being paid & they’ve had to turn kids away. ?

Rule to the wise. Never spend what you don’t have. If it ain’t in your hands, it ain’t yours.
Sup *Bruh Man nod*
Huh? Isn’t that like stealing? I mean all this people pay into the lottery and the lottery is not paying the winners. Easy fix no one needs to play the lottery in that state.
That’s what credit card companies tell us if we don’t pay our bills. ?
I would walk in the office ready to break and take.
They better give them folks they money. At least let me pay a bill off or something.
2 winners have outgrown their patience. They filed lawsuits against the state demanding their money — and a little extra on top for the inconvenience of broke people problems……….
yeah cause there are a lot of programs in Georgia that depend on lottery money i.e. pre-k and daycare programs. Hell the GA Lottery paid for my Associates (Hope Scholarship) but now the govt. has their hand in everything and these kids can’t even get books
I am so tickled that Rih unfollowed folks cause they talked ish about Travis. The screenshots of the folks are CLASSIC. I GOT HOT AZZ TEARS.
Bytch betta have my money. Ifin’ I ever win the lottery, NC better cut that check but knowing them they’re going to drag their feet as well. But let me be 1 day late on that income tax payment.
Kick in the door wavin the 4-4 ???
Hunty NC don’t play bout dey tax money!! They done came for me when I ain’t even owe em nuffin. And why I be owin them when I don’t be owin Federal?
New post. Same carpet munchers from yassaday.
they claim the have the money but not the legal authority to release it….
This I do not understand!!!!!!
So you taking peoples money and don’t have it to give if they win?
Why do they even have a lottery?
Note to self – DO NOT PLAY THE LOTTERY IN ILLINIOS…!!!!!!
?????????
The other thing about this that bothers me is “regular” folks are the ones suffering & feeling the heat of the state of IL not having a budget, but the politicians aren’t suffering.
NC would probably be on that shyt. Remember how big of a deal it was to get the lottery here?
I know people that they garnished their bank accounts for money that wasn’t owed. They acted like it was nothing, raking up fees and everything in folks accounts. Garnished their bank accounts without notice and then sent them a notice that they overpaid.
who she unfollow? lol
New post
You in NC? I was getting to say…Why is it we have the EDUCATION lotto but they cutting teachers position and claim they can’t pay ppl….

If you won, you have the right to spend as you wish. I’m not throwing shade on these people. What they should do is play for lump sum payments instead of installments. And Illinois should pull out of the lottery. If you don’t have the money, you don’t play. That should apply to the states too.

“You dream about winning the lottery all your life and it finally happened, and you don’t get paid,” Lottery winner Daniel Chasteen told The Wall Street Journal.

I thought all the plays, from all the states that are playing, go towards the jackpot. It sounds like they are saying we took your lump (that’s suppose to be in installments or not) and spent it or used it to pay Paul and’nem and their activities.
I saw a breakdown once for the lottery. Most of the monies went towards administration. The schools got a very small percentage. Smh unbelievable.

Illinois isn’t issuing payouts above the aforementioned threshold.
I am so broke that you’re mother took me out on a date, with her other family. I asked about you she said your father and his bastards are not kin.

I am so broke, I used the last $24 on your ebt card to buy lotto tickets and found out the state of Illinois not only has a nigga murdering nigga problem (a constant), but the state is broke also.
Well you told me to tell you about the irony, must be a project bitch(or some black lies matter pseudo moderator) that’s hard to please, but shops at her local walmart for the discount abortions.
This is why if I ever win…I’m taking the lump sum!!! Give me ALL my money while I’m living and let my children fight over it when I’m dead. LOL
SOOO WHERE DID ALL THE MONEY FROM THE PURCHASED LOTTO TICKETS GO?
12 for some squares?
I’d be seeing red smh. I hope they get their money.
Bish better have my money!
The matrix has been discovered by Earl Holmes Sr, after he hit the lotto super mega, mega, mega number down in illinois and the state did not pay out.
What are black folks going to do with they money they save from not playing the lotto? Pay off some past due bills, perhaps start smoking better quality cigarettes or even drinking top shelf liquor.
The world waits to see, because one thing we know for sure about blacks, looting is always an option any night of the week.

Ctfu!!! Such anger you have. Broke folks are always angry
Play in a state that has $
Lesson: If you ever win the lottery take the lump sum payment because you never know if the state will go broke.
Did you mean Stfu? Well broke folks should be angry the system humans have created, can produce more than enough for every one on the planet (daily), and yet we still play this game of hoarding (artificial resource scarcity).
Blah. You do it too, so shut it.
And that folks is why you always take the lump sum…. forget them 30 year payouts…..smh
If they couldn’t afford to pay, why do the lottery for such an amount? They find money for the things they do like
Sounds like someone is dipping their hands in the lotto pot. If they can only shell out 25k, how much of this money goes towards education? 2 dollars?
This proves that the lottery is a scam.
???u said OUT like you gon talk bout his momma or sumthin.
Why have lottery in the state, if they are bankrupt? SMH!
I know that, what I’m saying is I would never take annuities. They had the choice when they initially won.
So what happened to all the money that people paid INTO the lottery? This has lawsuit written all over it.
Mama be off limit unless the check is deposited in the bank.
Gotcha ?
“That’s little comfort to Lottery winners who have grown accustomed to living above their means and are depending on those huge checks to pay for their multimillion mortgages, Rolls Royces and Bentleys.”
So they got the Bentleys and Royces WITHOUT the payout?? ? Alrighty then.
Wtf!!! ?bîtch betta have my money?
I would be pissed
better get Wentworth on the the phone….ITS MY MONEY AND I NEED IT NOW! Damnit!
wait…what? 12 bucks for some CI’s….. Now that would make me quit! ASAP
