The New Jersey grandfather who won the historic Powerball lottery last week has vowed to pay rent for his whole block for a month or two.
A friend of Pedro Quezada, 44, told the New York Daily News about the good deed.
“He said he’s going to pay the rent for everybody here on this block for at least a month or two months. He’s such a good guy.”
Quezada, a Dominican immigrant who owns a bodega in his New Jersey neighborhood, took the winnings as a lump sum, which came to $152 million after taxes. The same week he was awarded the loot, news reports revealed that the new millionaire owed about $29,000 in child support.

But now that that’s settled, he plans on spoiling his wife, quitting his job, and of course, giving back to his community.
Mr. Quezada earlier said that he will buy his wife ‘whatever she wants’ with the money.
‘I will help those in need,’ he vowed in Spanish, adding that he was planning on buying ‘a good car – the one I like’.
He said he would no longer be working at the bodega he has owned in Passaic, New Jersey for seven years, and will insist that his 23-year-old son, who runs the store, will quit the job as well.
‘With all those millions, would you allow your children to work in a store like that?’ he said.
Good for him!
