Who Let The Jerks Out To Play?

Is it the spring weather?  Or just my imagination?  It seems jerks and people with an undeserved sense of entitlement have come out in great numbers lately.  Here is an example:

From the Detroit Free Press:

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.

Poor guy.  He only cleared a million dollars, and takes advantage of money intended for people in need.  Why is he still able to draw these benefits?  Who dropped the ball on this one?  Please tell me this is an oversight and not true policy.  I need to go watch some kittens and clear myself of the ickiness.
