Remember the lottery winner/welfare lady? Found dead in her home.

Thank you for your participation and interest in the Mises Community. This software platform has seen its day, however, and so is now closed. We are redoing our entire site, so look for some exciting developments by the end of the year. Thank you for your support of Austrian economics, liberty, and peace.

This lady (http://mises.org/Community/forums/t/28422.aspx), who won the lottery and then continued to remain on welfare, was found dead in her home:

Overdose, supposedly. Sad to see her go. She could have had an entire lifetime of receiving welfare to make up for the half a million the government stole from her. Maybe I should write to Block about her - the example of the ultimate practical libertarian :P
