Eighty-five Illinois lottery winners discovered they were not as lucky as they thought.

Their checks, worth $159,000 combined, did not clear the bank.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the Illinois lottery offered the winners a formal apology after their bank failed to authorize payment to several scratch-off winners.

Lottery spokesman, Mike Lang blamed the snafu on a computer oversight due to short-staffing during the holidays.

Lottery officials are working to make good on the checks and offered to cover any bank fees incurred from the incident. The lottery is sending the affected customers a free scratch off ticket as part of the apology, according to the Tribune.

I must have missed something, I thought 2011 was the year of HOLDING the MONIES, and PASSING the EXCUSES...

2012 is supposed to be the year of PASSING the MONIES, and HOLDING the EXCUSES

Especially noteworthy is the part about the snafu being blamed on a and I quote "short staffing computer oversight during holidays"

Illinois is quite possibly the worst run state in the US.

Our last 2 governors are in prison. Our whole mayoral process in chicago is a joke...and all you hear about on the streets is how everyone hates our state and local governments...yet they all keep voting for them

I don't know if it is the "worst" but it definitely ranks up there.

Sad that while everyone on Illinois knows what "Chicago politics" means, the rest of the country had to wait for Obama's senate seat to be sold before we found out.

It's fucked up but at the end of the day they are still going to get that $159,000 and I would be happy if I was them.

you would be happy someone bounced a check to you for a contract ? then gave you $1 as an apology ?

You would be happy if your boss bounced your paycheck, told you eventually you will get your money and gave you a $1 ?

got anything for sale ? you take checks ?

Really? I am sorry, but there is no way I believe you were not aware of Richard Daley, Al Capone or the basic history of Chicago. You always came across as so aware.

Raymor's IQ of 186 puts him in a tie with Marilyn Vos Savant for 5th highest IQ in the world. Impressive stuff.
