This receipt is authentic - although the EBT card holder didn't make the purchase - her (ex) boyfriend did. If I remember the story correctly, someone found the receipt in the store's parking lot and launched it onto the Internet.
In MA things like Lobster, Filet and Cakes can all be purchase with EBT. Basically any food item that is not taxed (such as ready to eat foods at the deli, etc.)
I have seen a huge $75 cake and about $150 of steaks paid for with EBT. It was for the 8-10 y/o son of the welfare queen, who spent half the time in line on their iPhone while their son was playing a game in their iPod Touch.
