Lottery cancels multi-state subscriptions

Posted in:

* As promised and expected. This went out today…

Dear Mega Millions Subscriber,

Because of the budget impasse in Springfield, Mega Millions sales have been suspended until further notice. For that reason, your Mega Millions subscription was canceled at 12:30 a.m. July 1, 2017. The remaining balance of the subscription will be refunded to your account. You will then be able to use the funds to play other in-state games such as Lotto, Lucky Day Lotto or Pick 3 and Pick 4 PLUS FIREBALL. You will also have the option to transfer the remaining funds to your bank account or request a check from the Illinois Lottery.

When Mega Millions is available again for sale in Illinois, you will be notified via email.

Thank you for being a loyal Illinois Lottery player. For more information, please reference our Mega Millions FAQs on illinoislottery.com or contact the Player Hotline directly at 1-800-252-1775.

Sincerely,
The Illinois Lottery Team

  1. Dear Lottery Players,

    Your Mega Millions tickets are no longer available. Please use your new available income on purchasing liquor. You have a 100% chance of feeling like you won the lottery with liquor. We cannot beat those odds.

    Sincerely,
    The Illinois Lottery Team

  4. “You will also have the option to transfer the remaining funds to your bank account or request a check from the Illinois Lottery.”

    Any idea how long it will take for the check arrive in the mail considering the states cash flow problems?

  5. I bought quick pick tickets dor powerball and megamillions for the next 3 weeks ahead of time. This makes me wonder if they are any good.

  6. Does the ‘Illinois Lottery Team’ mean Northstar? How many Mega Millions subscribers are there? Ten? A hundred? A thousand? I’d bet there aren’t many. And, the ludicrous sales pitch at the end of the email is beyond belief…
