NY lottery winner charged with welfare fraudReply
While it's true the article doesn't say how many dependents he has, it does say Palermo was charged with welfare fraud, grand larceny and offering a false instrument for filing .

NY lottery winner charged with welfare fraudReply

Welfare & Jackpot Lottery Winners
I just saw a Fox News segment that reported about Michigan resident Amanda Clayton and lottery winner of a $1M top prize justifying her receipt of food stamps. She has purchased a new house and vehicle with her winnings, but says she still needs the $200 a month in food stamps to pay her bills each month. She says she is entitled to her government assistance despite taking home over $500,000 from that $1M win. What is up with the likes of Amanda and Leroy Fick still mooching off Michigan t
