"He says he wanted the cash, but by taking it all he is in danger of losing the government benefits he has relied on to survive." That just blows my mind. He won over $400K and still wants/needs/deserves government benefits? Astonishing. TC

LOL! That was not my first thought, but sooooo true. My mother is in a similar situation (shared room in a care facility, not the money), and I got her a photo ID. She is still mentally sharp, so I get her absentee ballots.

Only one per election, thank you.

Sad, he has several mental issues.

No doubt insane:

'Instead, Ramsey got a cashier's check from Wells Fargo for $302,466 and immediately cashed it at an Amscot store. Amscot charged him more than $14,000 in fees.'

He had a birth certificate.

But people sure do suck. They may be lazy but they’ll run like the wind to take advantage of a sick old man.

It took a few days before Ramsey's winnings, $302,446 after taxes, became available.

It looks like they took 25% out for taxes, which might come close to covering it for the feds (no state income tax in Florida), but the IRS will still be looking for the rest of it in April.

Judge Lauren Laughlin, who monitors Ramsey's guardianship, sees another problem: Why was there nothing to keep the Florida Lottery from handing over thousands of dollars to someone that a court found incapable of caring for himself?

"You clearly can't be giving this kind of money to people who have had the right to manage their own financial affairs removed,"

Funny, the judge is worried about the state's responsibility in paying the money out, but has no concern when they take even more in ticket sales to people like Ramsey.

All I noticed is how quickly the family leeches came out of the woodwork to be there for him as soon as they heard he won the cash...

I had a friend who’s mom won one of the first BIG Texas Lottery jackpots...At the time he and I were in the reserves together, and he had his one ChemLawn franchises and that was his source of income...

When I heard his mom won, we both went over there and told her to get out of town...Lay low, and get a lawyer...Disconnect your phone as well...Have all communications done through the lawyer...

Well, she literally went out of town, and later we heard she flat went halfway around the world after securing the payout after we all got back from Austin...

She went to stay at the Hilton in the Maldive islands...hehehe, tough duty, but I think she could afford it...

When all was said and done, and the usual family, both immediate and distant, leeches came out to her place to find her...She had already given the house to my friend, and he still for at least two more years did his ChemLawn thing, not ever asking or expecting anything from his mom...

It just goes to show that virtue, even when it comes to family successes and failures is vacant these days...And my frind still lives in that house his mom used to live in...He learned how to be humble and appreciative of her success...And I believe it will pay off later on down the road...And even then he feels he doesn’t deserve anything but his mom’s love and attention to this day...

Funny how the relatives who could not take this man in and care for him suddenly showed up when he could do something for THEM.
