No More Big Games in Illinois for Awhile

Your chance to buy in to the nation's biggest lottery games is running out, at least in Illinois.

The state's budget problems have pushed both Powerball and Mega Millions sales out of the state.

Powerball sales were cut off Thursday night, and Mega Millions sales will stop at 9:45pm tonight (Friday).

An official with the lottery commission that oversees the games says sales won't begin again until the State passes a balanced budget.
