                          Dude didn't "pay" anything. Taxes were withheld from his winnings.

                            even if he netted $1 million after taxes, without including interest that would pay $40k/year for 25 years + social security.
                            no reason to need food stamps when you're taking in that kind of money

                              Pretty much everyone on food stamps does this, just not on this huge a scale.

                              Very few people on food stamps have to be, and when I see someone in the store in front of me in line using food stamps, they pretty much always go out and get in a nice car.

                                  Sorry but that's BS. As dad said he didn't pay squat. That gets witheld before paying him so he still netted lil over 900grand if he won 2mil. It's POS monkey c**k suckin f\*g that steals from US. WE the tax payer are the ones that get screwed cuz of scumbags like that. Wasn't there also another pr**k that went to vegas while collection unemployment benefits or some crap.. He'll get what he deserves..

                                      I feel no sympathy for him....A) he shouldn't have been buyin lotto tix if he can't afford food on his own to begin with and B) His net payout of $900k should be put aside...he should get off the stamps....and look for work or start 'extreme couponing' for free food....takes time but at least HE is doing the effort for it and not everyone else.

                                        if he decided to take the lump sum instead of payments, then tax that amount.... what would he have left? like 750k tops?

                                                    if on public assistance should you even be permitted to buy a lotto ticket? isn't this the market the lotto prays on? if so and the person does / can buy a ticket with cash, not stamps then all back assistance monies should be paid as if it were a loan. taxes, then arrears monies, then net to the lucky winner.

                                                    on another thought it could also be thought that he's merely getting a rebate on the milion + in taxes he paid.

                                                    lotteries winnings are always good conversation starters..........

                                                        how can government aid be offered to a lottery win? Can't be right.

                                                        Gov aid is for poor folks, not rich.

                                                          He probably spent it all. Many people that win the lottery end up broke.

                                                          Probably spend the 1m he got in 6 months thinking it would last forever.

                                                              Gov aid is for poor folks, not rich.
                                                              The state of Michigan does not recognize lottery winnings as income.

                                                                      Food stamp eligibility doesn't have an asset test. The month you hit the lottery, he would get no food stamps because it would be considered income. After that month, it would count as an asset, and wouldn't count against him.

                                                                      You could have Bill Gates' bank account, but it wont matter as long as you only have ttwarrior's income.
