Don't buy into state's lottery trickery
If you went to the racetrack and bet a horse that won and the cashier said you'd be paid eventually, you'd burn the place down. If you went to the casino and hit a slot jackpot and the cashier said you'd be paid eventually, you'd burn the joint down.
But Madigan and his band of crooks in Springfield take our lottery cash, put 50 percent in the government's pocket, continue to advertise, and their "Ponzi scheme" says they will pay when they can.
Remember, they have the money to pay - unless they have done something they shouldn't have with it. So folks, smarten up - don't buy any more lottery tickets.
