GOOD EVENING, I'M ROB JOHNSON. YOU CAN PLAY IT, BUT THEY WON'T. PAY IT. CBS 2'S ADRINA IS LIVE WITH.
DETAILS FOR US. ADRINA. Reporter: PEOPLE ARE STILL. COMING IN HERE TO THE 7-ELEVEN.
BUYING LOTTERY TICKETS, TRUSTING THAT IOU FROM THE. STATE. NOW THEY WILL HAVE TO WAIT TO. GET THEIR MONEY.
THE QUESTION IS, HOW LONG? I BOUGHT THE TICKET, I WON. THEY ARE NOT COMING THROUGH. WITH THEIR PART OF THE DEAL. SHE'S WAITING, BUT NOT.
HOLDING HER BREATH FOR HER. $50,000 IN WINNINGS. YOU WOULDN'T CALL YOURSELF A. WINNER.
IT'S ONE OF THE WORSE THINGS I. HAVE BEEN THROUGH. SINCE JULY, THE STATE HASN'T. PAID PLAYERS WHO WON $25K OR.
MORE, NOW NOTHING PAID OVER. $600. WE ARE OUT OF MONEY NOW. ILLINOIS LITERALLY DOES NOT.
HAVE ANOTHER DOLLAR TO SPEND. WE DON'T KNOW IF THESE. PEOPLE WILL EVER GET PAID. TOM ZIMMERMAN, LEADING A.
PACK OF DOZENS OF WINNERS SUING. THE STATE. NOW THOUSANDS MORE COULD BE. ADDED TO THE LEGAL FIGHT.
ILLINOIS FUND HAS ON DEPOSIT. IN THE LAST TIME WE LOOKED, $244 MILLION TO PAY LOTTERY. WINNERS. HOW DO YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO.
PUT IN IF THEY AREN'T GOING TO. PAY OUT? ARE YOU HESITANT TO GIVE UP. THAT MONEY? I NEED MY MONEY NOW. BUSINESSES ALSO NEED IT.
THE OWNER HERE SAYS THIS COULD. MEAN A 25% LOSS. YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE A. BUSINESS, TOO, BECAUSE PEOPLE.
ARE NOT GOING TO BUY. WILL YOU CONTINUE TO PLAY. EACH WEEK AND BUY YOUR TICKETS. KNOWING THAT YOUR MONEY IS NOT.
GUARANTEED RIGHT NOW? AS LONG AS IT'S GUARANTEED, YES, I WILL. I WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY. Reporter: TONIGHT, THE. STATE SAYS THAT ONCE A BUDGET.
IS PASSED, THEY WILL PAY OUT. ALL CLAIMS, OF COURSE, THERE'S. NO TELLING WHEN THAT WILL BE. LIVE IN RIVER NORTH, ADRINA, CBS 2 NEWS.
YOU MADE A GOOD POINT, YOU. DON'T THINK ABOUT IT HURTING. BUSINESS BECAUSE LESS PEOPLE. WILL BE BUYING THEM BECAUSE.
THEY DON'T THINK THEY WILL GET. PAID OUT THEIR MONEY. BUT YOU JUST POINTED THAT OUT..
