Drug overdose may have killled woman

who won $1million in lottery but kept

getting welfare

By NBC News sta and wire services

ECORSE, Mich. -- A drug overdose may have killed Amanda Clayton, a Detroit-area woman who won a $1 million lottery

prize but kept collecting welfare benefits, police said Saturday.

Ecorse police Sgt. Cornelius Herring said Clayton, 25, of Lincoln Park was found dead about 9 a.m. Saturday at a

home, The Associated Press said. Ecorse is southwest of Detroit.

Clayton won the $1 million prize in September.

In April, prosecutors accused Clayton of collecting $5,475 in food and medical benefits from August 2011 through March

that she would not have received had she reported the lottery winnings and income from a job she held from June

through October 2011. In June, she pleaded no contest to fraud and was sentenced to nine months' probation in July.

Her attorney has said Clayton repaid about $5,500, the AP reported.

Million-dollar lottery winners forfeit their right to public assistance," Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said in a statement.

Pretty sure that if I won the big prize, say a million bucks... I'd disappear.

Mrs Krinks side of the family knew a friend named Ingrid.
Now Ingrid is a German woman and is "sorta stupid" but
has won 2 different lotto's for whatever reasons. The
"sorta stupid " raised its head with her last choice of a
mate for life. He ended up with most of her money and
she pissed away the rest. She died in deep debt.
