For a while, I’m not sure if this is still true, if you won the lottery in Illinois you could not cash in your ticket because the legislature was behind approving the budget so the controller couldn’t pay out lottery winnings.

this is why the state of illinois is bankrupt. it is so bad they were asking people to take an iou for their lottery winnings. if people thought detroit was bad wait till illinois files for bankruptcy. it is beyond me why anyone is stil in the state. illinois the nutsack of america.
