Quad due to spinal fracture about 25 years ago (he is 54 I think). Has almost 100% hand functionality. I have no idea how many government programs support him. He can use a wheelchair and I bought him a wheelchair van years ago but he really is not healthy enough to use it. So, today he won Richard Petty’s Superbird. http://www.wintheking.com/rules/ His sister and her son went back for the drawing. One of those things where you pick and key and everyone gets in the car and tries to start it. No idea how much this thing is worth but plenty. I wonder if my nephew is going to lose his financial support from the government due to this win? I am sure he is going to have to pay taxes so I am also sure he will have to immediately sell it. Anyone know how welfare works for folks that are 100% disabled and then get a windfall? I really don’t want to ask him about this. Especially today as I am sure he is pretty excited. So not gonna be his debbie downer. But having significant IRS issues myself in years past, I immediately start worrying about this kind of thing.
