Got a gambling problem – call 800, I can’t pay you


Illinois Lottery Delays Payment of All Winnings Over $600:

Not only is Illinois the Cap Blasting Capitol of the USA; now along with shooting everyone in sight, they are sticking up their lottery players without a pistol.

Anyone that wins over $600.00 is going to have to wait a lot longer to collect their mulla.  It seems that the state is financially healthy enough to sell the lottery but when it comes to paying off the winners, they claim they are broke.

One quick solution to that dilemma is; quit selling lottery tickets. They are living proof of the old saying; they want their cake and eat it to, but they don’t want to pay for it.

Those lottery officials have bigger tomatoes than I thought.  Michael Jones the director of the state lottery makes a cool $117,000.00 a year. Did he ever consider kicking back some of that money for the cause?

The State of Illinois got so hungry/greedy that they initiated the sale of lottery tickets on line. I always thought that was against the law. That way a 5 year old kid that is computer literate can conceivably purchase tickets on line with his Ma Ma’s stolen credit card.  Talk about making it easy to gamble.

All of these gaming institutions around the country want to make themselves fell better when promoting people into losing their medicine and rent money; so they post a sign that say; if you have a gambling problem call our 800 number.

You know what I have to say about that    mi

Do you think they really mean that? They are going to squeeze every dime out of person they can; than turn them upside down and shake them.
