Families Outraged After Illinois Fails to Pay Out $288 Million in Lottery Winnings

The state is obligated to pay the money genius. if not it's fraud. When you buy a ticket you enter into a contract, to be paid when you hit:slap:

And the state is also obligated to give paychecks to public workers, and pay for other things as well. Tell you what, why don't you tell us all what obligations you would like to see the state forsake in order to put lotto winnings higher on the priority list. Inquiring minds want to know.

The lottery money shouldn't come from the general fund and does not take away from other programs or paychecks. It is separate. If the money isn't there, it means it was raided. They can't do that.

Hopefully, it's a glitch and not a matter of the money being used elsewhere because that would be illegal.

And I repeat that nowhere have I said that the state of Illinois has their shit together. Clearly, they don't. But what now? I really am amazed that some of you so called conservatives are crying in your wheaties just because some crack heads who like to waste their money on the lottery happened to get lucky. So, let's see your list of things you'd like to see go unpaid in favor of entitled slobs who view the world in terms of what everyone else owes them.

So you want to lay off cops to pay out lotto winnings? Good grief.

You don't get it. By robbing a fund they have no business touching, they are deliberately cheating people. They tell them to buy tickets and win money when they are just tricking them into buying tickets and keeping the money without paying out. Try that scam yourself and see how fast you end up in jail, no matter how much you might need the money for bills.

They enter into a contract when people buy tickets. Nice to see your true liberal self labelling people for no reason by calling them crack heads who feel entitled. They want the state to make good on the deal. Meanwhile, you guys defend the real crack heads and deadbeats who leech off the tax payers.

The state had no business stealing that money or withholding it for whatever reason. It's the same shit being done with the Social Security fund.
 
Liberals? Illinois is a RED NaziCon state with a Republican governor.

And some people still believe that Social Security is a guarantee.
 
Liberals in Illinois stealing more money from poor people...

Lottery winners in Illinois may have hit the jackpot - but they have not been paid.

The state recently announced that it was not paying out any winnings worth more than $600 until its budget crisis is resolved - but it's still running TV ads promoting the lottery.

An attorney representing some of the winners, Tom Zimmerman, has said there is a staggering $288 million in winnings waiting to be paid out.

One winner, Susan Rick, told INSIDE EDITION: “We won. We finally can have a comfortable life. Suddenly you're gonna the rug out from underneath us. We had a ticket for $250,000.”

A group of Chicago city employees had joined a lotto pool and won a million dollars - but they still haven’t seen a penny of it either.

Rhonda Rasche, a 49-year-old hospital clerk, said that after winning $50,000 in a scratch-off lotto, officials told her she'd receive a check in the mail in four to six weeks. That was a few months ago.

“I've been waiting for a check for $50,000,” she said.

Is Illinois not a red state?

Nope, not even close, but you already knew that, liar.

Does Illinois not have a Republican governor?

So do Massachusetts and Maryland. What's your point?

The OP says "Liberals" are stealing the money.

Yeah, they probably are. They run the state and have for decades

Yes, you're right. But that's the past. So what should be done now?

They need to get their shit together and figure that out. They can't just rob every other fund until the well runs dry or things will be beyond hope.

Really? Who are those Liberals running the state?
 
Fuck 'em. Yeah, they are legally owed the money. But it is "found money"; it is not budgeted for. So these assholes being "outraged" is loathesome. They are just going to piss it away. 99% of lottery players puss away what little money they have on those fucking lottery tickets and other frivolities, like cigarettes. They are basically dumb animals who cannot take care of themselves with the fucking government.

How is it "found money?" Are you trying to justify the state stealing their money?
You moron, it is not theft. Breach of contract? Yes. Fraud? Not at all. Theft?!? Fucking of course not!

There's nothing worse than a mindless populist masquerading as a conservative. By the way, "masquerading" means pretending to be something you are not.

something not quite right about this story. something is being left out.

differing states collect and spend lottery sales money in different ways. The general fund, programs etc... how is each state paying out winnings? From where?
