(DETROIT) -- Amanda Clayton, who admitted to receiving public food assistance after winning $1 million in the state lotto, has been cut off from state aid, the Michigan Department of Human Services said.
The statement followed a report this week in which Clayton, 24, of Lincoln Park, acknowledged to a local television station that she was continuing to get $200 in monthly food aid, given by the state through a "Bridge Card," after her win in September.
Department of Human Services' director, Maura Corrigan, issued a statement on Wednesday regarding "a person (now no longer receiving benefits) who remained on food assistance after winning a lottery jackpot."
"Under DHS policy, a recipient of food assistance benefits must notify the state within 10 days of any asset or income change," the statement read. "DHS relies on clients being forthcoming about their actual financial status. If they are not, and continue to accept benefits, they may face criminal investigation and be required to pay back those benefits."

Dang! You just posted it an hour ago by my clock! I didn't realize we had a time limit to respond.
Yes, I agree that subsidies are out of control. I'd like the tax money to stop going to green energy, as well as oil. Let the free market work without help from the taxpayer. If you have a good product that the public wants, you don't need govt funding. Case in point - Apple vs Solyndra.
