$2 Million Michigan Lottery Winner Still Uses Bridge Card [VIDEO]

Residents of Michigan are outraged after news broke that a man who won $2 mil from the lottery last June is still receiving food assistance from the state. The crazy part is that he is still allowed to do so under the state's current policy.

59 year old Leroy Fick of Auburn has just become the second most popular Leroy on Google, problem is his popularity is mostly negative. Mid-Michigan resident are shocked that the man is still using his Bridge Card to buy groceries after taking the $850k lump sum pay out from the Make Me Rich lottery game last June. Surprisingly, Fick is not ashamed of this at all. He told NBC25:

"I don't think I've done anything wrong. If the state has got a problem with its laws, they can fix them. They really should...If I'm eligible, I'm eligible. Right? I had injuries to my back quite a while ago. It keeps getting worse."

Fick believes that because he is unable to work he should be able to continue using his Bridge Card and said of those who have a problem with the situation:

"They're just a bunch of busy-bodies. They've got nothing better to do than gossip"

Pretty ballsy statement from a guy sitting on $800k who is milking a system that is already in financial ruin. Politicians are now getting involved and State Representative Charles Brunner said in a statement:

"There can be no excuses for state officials simply shrugging their shoulders and rubber-stamping forms when they see abuse of taxpayer money intended to help those who are truly in need. We have thousands of families all over Bay County who are struggling to find jobs, feed their families and keep their homes, and this guy has the nerve to cheat the system – but what's worse is that the state allows it to happen. I'm going to do everything I can to end this sickening practice immediately."
