Woman wins 1 million in lottery and still uses food stamps!

it's an obamanation
 
My Gawd! If our nation keeps melting down towards this being the status quo... We are in deep crap.
No shame or embarasment on her part whatsoever. "Dey didnt cut it off, so I figured it was ok".
She just keeps getting the free grocieries out of the free car to take into the free house.
I guess a million dont go as far as it used to... Especially when you have to actually pay taxes on it. Probably the first time the words "Paid" and "Taxes" have ever come out of her mouth in the same sentence.
 
I'd like to know how much she spent on lottery tickets each month?...... If your gambling w someone elses money..... YOU'VE got nothing to lose.....just perfect.

Only because somebody found out about it and put her on TV.

Honestly, it's not clear to me that she's actually ineligible for benefits. A lot of that stuff is based strictly on income and liabilities (number of children) and doesn't factor in how much cash or other assets you're sitting on.

It's more of that "defining down" of poverty... where poor doesn't represent an inability to buy yourself enough food to survive, only that you represent the poorest 25% of the population based on income.

After taxes I have to be getting close to the threshold here....
 
BTW no way can she liv on 500k the rest of her life. I HOPE she has a back up plan.

Damn strait she does. The U.S. Gubment!
 
I noticed she did not offer to "Share the wealth" I think we have a Rouge Demacrap on our hands! Surely she drank Obama's kool aid before it applied to her! I noticed she threw up in her mouth a little bit when she mentioned paying the taxes on the lump sum.
 
But she is entitled to it. She has two houses and bills to pay without income from a job...
 
At first, I was thoroughly p!ssed about this when I watched it. But then again, I got to thinking. If you watch the story to the end, you find that at that point in time, there was no law in place to have applied to this situation. While I have a problem with her crass attitude that she is somehow "entitled" to the $200 a month, she was not in fact breaking any laws. She played a legitimate lottery and won a winfall prize that she paid taxes on.

Here's the part that actually kinda pisses me off even more than her entitlement attitude:

The "investigative journalist" KNEW that she wasn't doing anything illegal, yet followed her with a hidden camera and then put her on the spot in an ambush interview. I know I wouldn't want a hidden camera following me and then airing what I'm doing (or not doing) around even if I know I am not doing anything legally wrong. That's just poor journalism. If you figure out over the course of your investigation that the subject is in fact innocent of any LEGAL wrong-doing even though her motive may be morally questionable, you DON'T RUN THE PIECE. Since when are news reporters the "moral high water mark"?
 
Yup. The talking heads that have to produce sensational news everynight arent much better than the people the report on. Just once I would like to see a news anchor say... Well, there isnt much going on tonight, a couple crack heads shot each other, its gonna' rain tomorrow, NBA basketball sucks so there is no sports... We decided to run some old Tom and Jerry cartoons and get a six pack.:D
 
IF Michigan food stamp policies are like NC she had 10 days to report her winnings to the food stamp office. She also had 10 days to report her buying a new house since still owning the first house makes it an asset. Her new car, you guessed it if she still has the old one it is an asset too. NC allows for one vehicle per licensed driver anything else is considered and asset even if it doesn't run and is on blocks in the back yard. SO her not having a job and "needing" the food stamps went right out the window there.
