Powerball winner pays his neighbours’ rent

Pedro Quezada, 45, is using some of his $338-million Powerball jackpot to help out his neighbours.

The newly minted megamillionaire — Quezada took the lump-sum payout of $152 million — has offered to pay rent for everyone on the block in Passaic, New Jersey, where he was running his bodega at the time of his win.

Now retired, Quezada has put his business up for sale.

"He said he's going to pay the rent for everybody here on this block for at least a month or two months," a good friend of Quezada's told the New York Daily News. "He's such a good guy."

"God bless him, and thank you," said neighbour Richard Delgado, 45, after learning of Quezada's generous offer.

When he accepted his cheque at a New Jersey Lottery press conference, Quezada vowed in Spanish, "I will help those in need."

He is currently settling the matter of back child support he owed for three of his children. According to the Daily Mail, he settled his $30,000 debt in state Superior Court yesterday and told the judge that the three children will now be living with him as well.
