According to the articles I read the loophole fix will be a law stating that lottery winners cannot be eligible for public assistance.
I think it's misguided because what about the people who won the lotto 30 years ago but are legitimately broke now?
I also think that liquid assets should be factored into the equation. If you have $300k sitting in a savings account you shouldn't be eligible for welfare, regardless of income.
