The man should spend a month in jail for fraud and then fined the exact amount he's used in food stamps since receiving his millions. Additionally, the person at the DHS who told him he could keep doing this should also be prosecuted.
A man who won $2 million on a Michigan lottery show has told a TV station that he still uses food stamps.
Leroy Fick of Bay County admitted he still swipes the electronic card at stores, nearly a year after winning a jackpot on "Make Me Rich!" He told WNEM-TV in Saginaw that more than half the prize went to taxes.
Fick says the Department of Human Services told him he could continue to use the card, which is paid with tax dollars. He told WNEM: "If you're going to ... try to make me feel bad, you aren't going to do it."
The TV station says people have seen Fick driving a new Audi convertible.
