SPRINGFIELD, IL- (WGN-TV.  Please click on the link above for the full story.  Here is an excerpt below.)

Powerball and Mega Millions are pulling out of Illinois effective tomorrow night because of the state budget crisis.

Powerball ticket sales will end after tomorrow night’s drawing.  Mega Millions sales will stop on Friday night.

While the Illinois lottery will continue to hold drawings, anyone who wins more than $25,000 dollars will have their prize payments delayed.

Without a state budget, there’s no appropriation to pay the multi-state lottery agency that runs Powerball and Mega Millions
