The really sad part of this story is that with her attitude, she will be broke very soon and get back to collecting food stamps. Anyone think she will be actively searching for employment, or will she just live off her winnings until it's gone?

Odds are she will blow through the money, then wonder why she is broke and unemployed, again. Unexpected wealth seems to disappear very fast, look at all the over-hyped sports figures who make millions during their playing years who end up broke years after retirement.
So we have someone with $500K, plenty of money to hire daycare, go to school, get a degree, learn a trade, or start a business. No excuses. No obstacles. And the consensus is she is still going to fail. Why?
Interesting.
If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Why?
Owning 2 homes. If she thinks she is still poor, you think she would cut expenses.
Not working right now, sounds like she is missing ambition or motivation in her life.
I would love to see a where-are-they-now show on former lottery winners including her.

I'm not saying she is going to fail, only that the odds are she will. I have seen it all too often Joe when I was doing taxes. When a person gets a windfall of money there are two ways of handling it.....you can either look at is a sudden increase in your checking account or a sudden increase in your saving account. For those who have never had a lot of money the former is very attractive, finally they can have what they have never been able to afford, it takes discipline to view that money as a future asset, use what you need now to pay off debt, and invest/save the rest taking only a small portion every year to better your lifestyle while still keeping a tidy nest egg. It has always bugged me that the math curriculum in high school does not include money management, balancing a checkbook and investing and saving, the cost of credit and the time value of money. It's sad really how many people will get a windfall and have absolutely no idea what to do with it beyond spending it. And many will trust the wrong person when asking advice.
I agree, archer. If school is supposed to prepare you for living and contributing, it sure doesn't do it when it comes to life skills and money management.

If you are a parent that is willing to house and feed your child well past their 20s while not pressuring him/her to get a job, they will continue to tap your bank account until you are dead.
Why would it be any different if you could live off the government?

I know a class like that would have been more useful to me than Calculas.
