A 25-year-old woman from Lincoln Park who continued to collect food stamps after winning the state lottery’s $1 million “Make Me Rich!” game show has been charged with two felonies for welfare fraud, Attorney General Bill Schuette announced this morning.
Amanda Clayton, whose use of a food stamp bridge card was uncovered earlier this year by WDIV-TV, was silent during a brief court hearing after spending a night in jail. A not-guilty plea was entered, and her lawyer vowed to fight the charges.
