Lottery winner on food stamps even after $1 million jackpot
So this bitch wasn't working, living on the public dime, and she has money to buy lottery tickets?
Of course you do, dear, of course you do.
Bitch also has a few hundred thousand sitting in the bank. According to other articles I read, she bought one of the two houses with her payout, as well as a new car.
Thankfully, the Washington Post reported this morning that she's been removed from public assistance.
The state legislature is working on a bill requiring cross-checking of those on public assistance with lottery winners.

People love stories about someone winning the lottery and then giving the money away. They're less likely to feel fondly about Amanda Clayton, who won $1 million in the Michigan State Lottery but is still collecting food stamps.
"I thought that they would cut me off, but since they didn't, I thought maybe it was OK because I'm not working," Clayton, 24, told Local 4 news in Detroit.

And Clayton isn't embarrassed about living off the state even though she now finds herself in the nation's top tax bracket. "I mean I kinda do," Clayton told Local 4 when asked if she had a "right" to the government welfare.
Of course you do, dear, of course you do.

Clayton downplayed her wealth, saying she took the $1 million in a lump sump, which meant about half immediately went to taxes. "I feel that it's OK because I mean, I have no income and I have bills to pay," she said. "I have two houses."
