25 year old Amanda Clayton from Michigan made news in 2011 when she won $1M in the Michigan lottery. Nothing big about that news, but it came out later that despite winning the $1M she was still collecting welfare benefits and that there was no law which would keep her from doing so despite her payout. Yesterday morning Amanda was found dead in her home. Police say she died of an apparent overdose.
