The multi-state lottery association overseeing Powerball and Mega Millions games will dump Illinois by the end of June if the state doesn't end its budget impasse.
Illinois Lottery Acting Director Greg Smith said that the lack of a budget will result in players being "denied the opportunity" to participate in popular games.
Illinois reported $99 million in Mega Millions sales and $208 million in Powerball sales in 2016. It's unclear how much Illinois received.
The budget stalemate could enter a third year if lawmakers don't reach agreement by July 1. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats controlling the Legislature have been deadlocked since 2015.
The Multi-State Lottery Association didn't immediately return messages.
The lottery games are played in 44 states.
