I think it should be stipulated in the law [everyone's law; including America's if not already done so] that felons should not be able to participate/reap any rewards or prizes from gambling/game shows seeing as they've lost their privilege and right to such a *luxury; *presuming they win.
That's right - No Publisher's Clearing House, No Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, and sure as hell No Scratch Off tickets! Basically, all forms of gambling and game shows who deal out money in prizes or great items worth a lot of money are not eligible to felons [this would have been broken down of course in case of a lesser crime but the obvious crimes such as robbery, murder, rape, kidnapping, espionage, etc. We're talking big time crimes here!]
I sure as hell don't want to see a rapist walk away with a ferrari.
All in all I think the money should go to school costs, charity or some type of donation.
