Orrrr..... instead of taking the lump sum, she could have taken the yearly payout. Then, since she'd have income equivalent to a healthy yearly salary without actually having to work, she could go to school and get an education. That way, when the lotto payouts stop, she can actually get a job and be a contributing member of society.

But, that's far too rational and responsible of thinking for someone that just won $1million and thinks they should continue to receive their handouts.

It's disgusting.
