Michigan Lottery Winner Amanda Clayton Who Continued to Collect Food Stamps Dies of Possible Overdose

The Michigan lottery winner who shot to prominence after admitting that she was still collecting food stamps died Saturday of a possible drug overdose, the Detroit News reported.

Amanda Clayton, 25, was found dead at home around 9 a.m. Saturday, Ecorse police Sgt. Cornelius Herring confirmed. An autopsy is pending, according to WXYZ-TV.

Her friend’s boyfriend told WXYZ Clayton was discovered lying on the bed with her 1 1/2-year-old. The boyfriend said Clayton was “already in a bad stage” Friday night.

In March, a local news station confronted Clayton on camera about why she was still using food stamps to pay for her meals after winning a $1 million lottery prize. She defended the practice, saying, “I feel that it’s OK because I mean, I have no income and I have bills to pay, I have two houses.”

The state of Michigan said Clayton received about $5,500 in food aid and medical benefits after winning a pre-tax lottery windfall of $735,000 last year, according to the Detroit News.

State officials took Clayton’s welfare benefits away once her story went viral. She pleaded no contest to fraud in June and was sentenced to nine months’ probation in July.

  I think what State was saying is that if Obama redistributes all the Money from the Rich and redistributes to the poor, then the Rich would have it all back with in 90 days.
  
  You have better chance of winning the lottery than ever receiving one penny of Redistributed Money – All of it goes to the so called Re-distributors.

What should the “rich” pay as their “fair share”? Oh, yeah first define rich. Then define fair share. Then give me a concrete number that they should pay to get the nation out of 16 trillion dollars of debt. And as far as I know, there are no trillionaires. The problem with progressive class warfare morons like you, is that there is no number except that it is never enough. GFY and all your progressive friends.

I personally knew a friend who inherited a couple million dollars – he was a drug user before he got the money and boy did he become an even BIGGER drug user – he blew all his money up his nose and then he died – oh well. doesn’t surprise me one bit.

  BOO HOO!.. Sad, but typical of lottery winners who don’t know how to handle a windfall. Her problem was still trying to stay on the public dole while winning 1 million dollars. Out & out fraud and deceit will eventually ruin everyone. Eventually those on the take from the govoment will also pay their dues.

  Meh, will you accept indifference? One person is responsible for this woman’s demise… and she ain’t around to be “saved” no more. My life, your life, everyone elses lives… we all move on, don’t we? I was playing in a left-leaning sandbox and reading the responses to this story. My goodness, junkies apparently rank with Islam and pandas in that you cannot point out how willful behavior leads to one’s own self-destruction.
  According to the leftists, this being suffered from a disease (i.e., addiction). BS (unless hitting yourself in the face with a hammer can also be considered a disease), but that’s an argument for another day. Gee, maybe her child will better off in another’s care. Is that the happy ending we can hope for? Mysterious ways and such….
  Wonder how much of that sweet lottery money was left and what she had to show for it. Well, let’s hope at least there’s a nice funeral service.
  RIP, junky. The ol’ rock star-style checkout makes headlines again. Yippy. You weren’t the first, you won’t be the last.

  You are right DTBOX, though everything this woman was about was abhorrent her sins were paid in full by the Blood of Yahushuah – Jesus Christ. He would have gone to the cross for her if she was the last person on earth, that’s how much God Almighty – Yah loved her. The fact that she chose by free will to reject such grace grieves heaven – that’s why it doesn’t feel right. Eternity in outer darkness- in hell is a long time, those who belong to Yahushuah are not to wish on their worst enemies such a fate. She was just a useful idiot, she was a product of her upbringing, she was raised at a time when America as a nation has kicked God out of the public square, no prayer in school, no teaching of Biblical principles. No moral compass, no Ultimate Truth, just walking in their own darkness and calling it light. I understand the German word and you are right, it feels wrong to you because the Holy Spirit within you witnesses that it is wrong and shameful to rejoice in this life lost rather then saved.
  …She is a victim of the socialist/communist/humanist/relativist/amoral agenda to mold a populace so dumb, and dependent and entitlement minded on the government they not only want cradle to grave care but can not survive without it…All our ills can be traced to AGENDA: GRINDING DOWN AMERICA

  You, Gooch, have said one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen posted on the internet. It at least ranks in the top 10. I have actually studied physiology, which apparently you have not or you would see the idiocy of what you just said. I am also currently going to college, for a B.S. Degree in psychology, and have already taken a number of psych courses, as well as biology, Anatomy/Physiology 1 and Anatomy/Physiology 2. So I know what I am talking about when I say that those who are under the influence of dependence are NOT themselves.
  
  Someone who is addicted to a drug may well indeed understand what the drug is doing to themselves, but their brain chemisty is altered; they are either physically or psychologically dependent on the drug, (or both). I don’t believe that addiction is a “disease”, but it IS a physical condition and should be treated as such. Someone who is suffering dependence on a drug isn’t simply going to stop using it, most of the time they need help–what do you think treatment programs are for?
  
  Goosh, you are just a callous, cruel, heartless individual and if it was YOUR family member who were suffering from addiction, YOUR son or YOUR daughter, you would be singing an entirely different tune. Let’s hope it never is.

  Silverwolf:
  Spare me the sermon. Surprise! I beat you to the psychology degree with almost two decades of experience in the field! I speak from experience. No apologies for not carrying the politically correct water here.
  It has been my experience that treatment programs are exercises in futility that allow busybodies to suck huge sums of cash for an endeavor in which results are not justified by expense. Escapism is a reality of the human condition and it cannot and will not be spent, prayed, wished or legislated away. But it sure does attract sweet gubment money when you pull on the heart strings of the ignorant. Laughably, most laymen believe addiction can be “cured”. Any charlatan who asserts as much should be subject to a mandatory, pride-obliterating b!+ch slap. I believe in providing supports for those who want them, not to every junky under th sun.
  Oddly enough, I think you and I might agree on this issue for the most part. We just differ in how would respond to the “victims”.
  Oh, and I’ve seen my own brother almost kill himself from addiction. He decided to change his lifestyle after he woke up in a shock trauma unit after smashing up a damn nice pick up truck. So, yeah, I get the pain of watching someone you care about self-destruct.
  Oh, to be so bright-eyed & bushy tailed again…. Good fortune in your studies. No need for name calling. My opinion is based on experience. You are certainly entitled to your perspective.

  Those who try to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ are better than that. Those who just leave God out of it but want to Follow Glenn, also know better. He has spoken so many times of the need to be kind and compassionate and forgiving in our lives. What he does on his radio show is sometimes confusing to me because the entertainment fused with the enlightenment, while not difficult to discern, gives the wrong impression to those who do not know his heart. Satire and social humor and real life are often hilariously funny, and engaging in it doesn’t mean we are truly uncaring and mean, but it can be interpreted that way. Along with the Comedy, Irony and obvious poor choices of this woman’s situation, I certainly hope she is now in a place where she will have her heart opened to the God who loves her and I know he will be merciful to her and help her to see the light.

  Well let’s hope the baby has some of the money placed in a trust, if Obama’s IRS death tax minions leave the kid a few cents to inherit. Doubtful. This girl was headed for trouble with or without money. Poor kid.There probably won’t be much of a nation left by the time he/she’s grown once the Choomer-in-Chief decimates what’s left of the economy.God Bless the child.

It never ceases to amaze me. They FIGHT like HELL to FEED THEIR GREED, RIP off whoever they can and then when found out……..destroy their lives! WHY? I just don’t get it. Their lives mean everything IF they get to rob others blind and live well, BUT if caught, then their lives mean nothing to them! There is no reasoning in these people’s minds, they just live and REACT like unreasoning animals.

  How is it that someone on government aid is ALLOWED to buy lottery tickets….. oops, never mind that was the hope part….
  
  This will sadly continue to happen as Obama and his cronies and redistributionst monkey followers continue the break the backbone of the American economy and try to replace it with a wish bone.

  Eleutheria, I hate to tell you that IT IS DEFINITELY NOT voluntary. If you try that and get caught your going to wish you had invested in a life time supply of KY. As far as this woman is concerned I don’t think she was an evil person. But likely just someone who was not very well acquainted with the realities of consequences. It stems from the lack of Discipline that permeates our society. (The capital D refers to the type of punishment, you know the kind fathers and mothers use to deal out, but would likely get the government involved now a days.)

I was just reading this on myfoxdetroit and a million thoughts popped into my head. Is this Karma?, Is this a wake up call that this is what dependency leads to?, Could her life have worked out differently if she was an educated, God fearing, independent woman instead of a product of her environment that taught her it was acceptable to be an unemployed, drug using, single mother dependent on the government?

Sometimes you read the news and it’s almost predictable. This is the environment that so many have tried for so long to create. But no one ever considers the consequences.

  Here’s something to mull over. IF this being had been forced into a substance abuse treatment facility against her will, would she have been responsible for payment for services rendered? Remember, she just won the lottery last year. How much of that money was p!ssed away and if compelled into treatment against one’s will, does that constitute an agreement for payment?

  Not to defend this persons behavior, but it was her friends boyfriend who spoke to the news. Either way if she was in bad situation Friday night when they saw her why would you not stay with her, offer to watch her child, call the cops, hell I thing child protective services over step their bounds a lot, but in this case maybe they could have done some good.

  @ halloween, Actually Karma does exist to a degree. Hang around bad people doing bad things and no GOOD will come of it. Hang around good people doing good thing and no Bad will come of it. Generally speaking. Other than those Coincidences you refer to that will happen that aren’t controlled by faith or fate. getting hit by a runaway vehicle or stepping out in front of a moving vehicle and assuming God will save you. I believe like you probably do: It’s always my time. No such thing as “it’s not my time yet”. You call the shots, God calls you home.

  It also proves you can’t buy intelligence. One good decision on her part-to not do drugs for her child’s sake, could have changed her life. Bet you money people come out of the woodwork wanting to care for the child-and the money. Poor baby.

  PROGRESSIVESLAYER, Can’t think of the guy’s name. But, years ago I read of one lottery winner who a somewhat older college student. He tucked the majority of the money away, kept enough available at his finger tips to pay his current bills to include college. Took classes on business, investments, and economics, and took them seriously. He also told friends and family to a take hike until he had things under control. He later started a successful business, but even it took years. But he was later able to control his winnings, earnings, and investments, then he was able provide practical help for family and friends without going broke. Naturally, I don’t keep up with the lottery winners, and this is the only person I’ve ever heard of for doing the right thing. The Dem-wits probably consider his evil now, although he has a number of employees who rely upon him.

  RJ I’m not familiar with that particular man’s story but there are people who can handle it,it’s just we hear about the tragic endings because it sells.People get into gambling and they can’t control themselves and they should look at it like recreation,don’t spend the rent,food,your regular bills on gambling. We have gamblers anonymous for a reason,some people just can’t control themselves.

  Hi RJJ, Gonzo and Progressiveslayer,
  
  Here in Florida we have lots of Lotto winners. The elderly that win seem to do better handling that kind of money than the younger people. I remember one elderly couple that won and the Grandfather, when asked what he was going to with the money, simply said, “My pickup truck needs a little work and I always wanted to take a vacation to (I forget the location) and the Grandchildren need a College funds set up.”
  
  Then we had the (about) $5M (after taxes) winner; a young white trash couple (pardon but it’s true) that bought a $1M home and were broke within the year.
  
  Recently we had the young black man who won a large bundle; his girlfriend and one of her friends killed him and hid his body under some debris at a vacant lot. She got caught.
  
  I can’t remember a young person here ever doing well after winning… only the elderly retired and elderly retired military people.
  
  So much for that wonderful progressive educational system. : (
