These morons can’t even run a gambling ring. Why not split the state up. They can’t govern themselves responsibly.

Couldn’t happen to a better place...well, maybe CT and CA, but this is a good start.
This is what commie RAT socialists bring to your cities, states, etc. when they’re given power. Most of em can’t even manage their own lives, let alone anyone else’s. It’s analogous to giving a loaded gun to a lunatic.

It was already one. Winners of the lottery in IL get iou’s from the state if they win the bigger payouts.

obama was making the rest of the USA like his home state. Thank goodness that plague is out of office.

Last weeks $447 million Powerball jackpot was won by one ticket in Sun City, California.
(That's about $300 million after taxes)

Running a lottery has a 0% chance of losing money. Only explanation is that someone raided the lottery fund.

“Is there any wonder why businesses and wealthy people are moving out of this state in droves....”..

Not only are the wealthy leaving, so are many of the “gibsmedats” who are migrating to Wisconsin and sucking at the breast of the states welfare program.

Illinois should do what Louisiana does. Submit a budget that everyone knows isn’t balanced but proclaim it is, and then continue to the next budget crisis followed by a costly special session called by the gov. Then the loop restarts.

Look for Illinois to continue selling tickets to their residents and pocketing the loot. “Sorry, there were no winners in Illinois this drawing.”

The only interest I have in PB is I would get a ticket if, and only if, The LORD told me to. Not sure that it would ever be His will, but that is my condition. I have never bought a lottery ticket. If He told me to get one then it would not be gambling. A lot of good could be done quickly with the money.
