If you're looking to buy Powerball tickets in Illinois, time may be running out.

The Illinois Lottery is suspending ticket sales at 9pm tonight because of the budget situation.

MegaMillions sales will be suspended starting Friday night.

The Illinois Lottery also says lottery winners who win over $25,000 will likely have to wait to cash in if lawmakers fail to reach a budget deal by the end of the fiscal year Friday night.
