noise-gate. Why should we agree to the photo celebrity or the Press event when they do not play fair. The Lottery Commission should be ashamed of themselves for not foreseeing these problems. They should have hired extra help a long time ago.

Northstar (G Tech) screws with people's money in more than just Illinois ! Texas Fun Five's scratch off winners are STILL waiting for our money from our winning tickets......It's been almost 3 years. Instead of paying us....they keep appealing in court. They are scammers

Oh no not illinios Again . You are either in the lottery business or out of the lottery business. If you can't pay online winners on time then suspend online sales. The reason people play online is for faster play and faster pay now what illinios is doing is faster sales and lucky if you even get paid sad sad sad

Includes video report

It's the worst case scenario for any avid lottery player you play and win, then have to fight for your money.
