"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
Just don't call her a food stamp slut and all will be well

Whatever you do don't tell Rush he may hurt someone's feelings over this...how's a girl to make ends meet?

Hey, if I won a million dollars, I'd be unemployed too.
Seriously, this woman doesn't need a handout, she needs an education on handling her finances.
Maybe lottery winners should be given an IQ test before they get the money.

Beware of too much good luck, warns a classic Greek myth – a lesson that a Michigan woman who won a $1-million state lottery jackpot has learned the hard way.
Michigan’s Department of Human Services has cut off $200 a month in food aid to Amanda Clayton in the wake of media reports that she had won $1 million in the state lottery in September. To make matters worse for Clayton, who lives in Lincoln Park near Detroit, her case has been turned over to state anti-fraud officials.
"DHS relies on clients being forthcoming about their actual financial status,” Department of Human Services Director Maura D. Corrigan said in a prepared statement. “If they are not, and continue to accept benefits, they may face criminal investigation and be required to pay back those benefits.”

Don't worry
I bet she's back on within 4 years - if that - because she's broke - and still without a job.
