Lotto winner, Pedro Quezada, to pay for neighbors' rent

Powerball winner Pedro Quezada has promised to pay this and next month's rent for his entire block.

The New York Daily News reports a friend of the new millionaire said Quezada offered to help the residents of the Passaic, N.J., neighborhood that housed his bodega with a couple of months worth of housing expenses.

“He said he’s going to pay the rent for everybody here on this block for at least a month or two months,” the friend told the NYDN Saturday. “He’s such a good guy.”

The 45-year-old Dominican has been dubbed a local hero among neighbors for his incredible generosity.

After claiming his $338 million Powerball jackpot last week -- the fourth largest jackpot in history -- Quezada plans to sell his bodega and live of off the $152 million after taxes he got from the lump sum payout.

Quezada's friend says he has already paid the $29,000 he owed in child-support.
