SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) There are 55 winners of Illinois’ lottery for licenses to operate marijuana retail stores officials said Thursday, but the licenses can’t be awarded until a judge rules on a challenge to the process.
Awarding of the licenses by the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation have been delayed for more than a year, initially because of COVID-19-related issues. Problems with scoring the applications added to the delay.
There were 626 eligible applicants that scored at least 85% of the possible 250 points on their applications. They were allowed to submit multiple applications in each of 17 regions in which licenses were awarded.
