Illinois Lottery Winners Get IOUs not Cash
In fairness: Lottery officials have explained that eventually the money will be paid out, but no one is exactly sure when...The State of Illinois has a reputation for welshing on payments. Some vendors wait years to get paid. Some go out of business. Suing the state for collections is futile.
If you owe the State of Illinois money, they will get it. They do not care about your budget problems. They get paid. They will take your home and possessions to get what is owed. They will drive you into poverty.
Illinois is as vicious and ruthless as loan sharks when it comes to collecting money.The IRS is not as savage when it comes to collections.
Here is something funny. Chicago Outfit bookies always paid. Always.
Think about that. Organized crime was more honest than the Illinois Lottery.
Not sure if 'organized crime' is more honest that Illinois Lottery. Could be they just have better cash flow control ...
