The New Jersey man who won $338 million in the Powerball lottery last weekend is wanted on charges of unpaid child support, according to the Passaic County Sheriff's Office.
An arrest warrant was issued for Pedro Quezada in 2009, the sheriff's office said. He has five children ages 5-23 and owes a total of $29,000 in back child support, spokesman William Maer said. It is not clear which children the payments are for.
Quezada's son, Casiano, said his father has hired an attorney and is "working through it."
Man wins Powerball, promises to help others
A child support warrant usually results in payment, an installment plan or arrest, Maer said. He declined to comment on the Quezada case because the investigation is ongoing.
Every person who wins more than $600 in the New Jersey Lottery is checked for outstanding taxes, liens, child support payments and the like, lottery spokeswoman Judith Drucker said. The funds owed are deducted from the winner's final payment, she said.
Quezada has chosen a lump-sum cash jackpot payment that will amount to about $152 million after taxes.

If he only has to pay 29K, that'd be GOAT.
-
He should want to pay it off and provide a good life for his kids.....
-
He should be able to pay that off no problem. Almost everybody got a past due bill or two.
-
Just buy the damn kids.. ? a payment..
If he was a part of those kids lives of course -
That 29k is just the back pay. His new rate gonna jump to like $29k a month. If that was me I'd pay someone to catch those bodies and take care of those kids myself. Can't let these wayward ? come up like that.

I think you also get less money if you take the lump sum, so that's on top of the taxes.........I think. (Not like I know a lot about the lotto)

If he smart he'll let the judge throw the number out he has to pay a month. Total that ? up for 18yrs pay the chick off that day and keep it moving.
His luck chick would spend it all up and he gonna end having to pay more anyway. -
? 152 M's ? got no worries... I tell u one thing if I ever win... Im declining to have my name released to the public.
-
Id throw her a mil and tell her to ? . Homie is good for life

Transfer money into overseas account and move to a country that doesn't extradite.
Shawn Kemp approves!

some of yall are delusional.
paying off support for 18yrs dont work like that. in most places you have to revisit the court every few years to see if things have changed financially. and that may effect the payments for the next few years until the next time you have to come back to court. even if you did opay it all off...thats says you have enough money to increase the amount.
as far as him being good for life...i doubt that. a poor person getting money too fast cant lead to there downfall.
everybody an they mom will be calling from the DR.
those ? will need an increase everytime they wake up.
the kids will need to go to private school and/or have security because of kidnap threats.
current lady might try to take him for some.
best thing for him to do is buy a mountain an build a gate around it. and fill it up with attack dogs and snipers. -
I'm sick of the court ''REWARDING'' these hoes with poor taste in men.
