Illinois Limits Lottery Payouts to $600

Moonbattery: Liberals like coercive social programs like Social Security because unlike the free market, you can always count on Big Government. Yeah right:

Feeling like you’ve hit the jackpot through the Illinois Lottery? Well, think again.

State officials announced Wednesday that winners who are due to receive more than $600 won’t get their money until the state’s ongoing budget impasse is resolved. …

Despite the payment delay, lottery officials have continued selling tickets.  more

  1. Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, that should be a commercial shown around the world! Everybody should now refer to Illinois as the “Welsher” State! In fact, I nominate Illi to host the next Democrap convention! It would showcase all of the great deomcrap ideas, everything from public housing, illegal immigration, student loans, feminism (Hillary) and Affirmative Action ( aka Barry Soetero). Just put up giant signs around the ports of entry for that state and let the humiliation begin!

  2. Besides all that, I hate the IL people who cross the border and drive in the middle (passing lane) under the speed limit.

    Besides all that, I hate the IL transplants to my red state who vote to make us a blue state.

    Besides all that, there’s more. Oh, Chicago people are often cocky and condescending to us “hicks” from surrounding states, and to “hicks” from IL sticks.

  3. The sad part of this is that the mathematically challenged people that throw money into a wishing well (the lottery) are not going to stop buying tickets even if nobody ever gets paid a dime.
    They are buying hope, or a dream.
    Government taking advantage of those people is a crime far worse than not giving them money almost all of them would not get anyway.
    That is why, back when sanity prevailed, these kinds of operations were illegal.
    Mark my words. It is inevitable that sooner or later, a government will start using psychics to con people out of money.

  4. Pffft. Lotteries. They are scams. The only ones who really profit are the people who run them.
    Look at Vegas. You know who paid for those billion dollar casinos? The losers!
    If you don’t play, you can’t lose.

    But that’s nothing. What really pisses me off is Social Security.
    The gov’t has been taking my money for 40 years. And by the time I can retire at an advanced age (thanks, barry) if I am not dead by then (thanks again, barry) the account may be bankrupt.

    Way to go, shitheads.

  5. Its a shame that moonbattery’s story doesn’t say who started the budget impasse. The state now has a Republican Governor and Lieutenant Governor but a solidly Democrat Assembly. If you go to the newspaper it asks you to get an online subscription if you want to know more. Maybe the Governor is finally having a showdown with the legislature and the lottery office is caught in the crossfire.
