Pedro Quezada, won the $338 million Powerball jackpot (the fourth largest jackpot in history) on March 26, 2013, with a ticket he purchased at Eagle Liquors store in Passaic, New Jersey. Quezada, a Dominican immigrant with five children, said in an interview that he was going to help his family with the money. A few days ago, however, he dropped the bomb by saying that he will take the lump sum of $221 million and, according to the New York Daily News, pay the rent of everyone in his neighbourhood for a month or two.
Let's hope that his generosity won't cost him too much so he ends up like one of these lottery winners.
Millions of Americans purchased Powerball lottery tickets last week with dreams of winning the $1.58 billion jackpot. High Stakes poker player and Instagram phenomena Dan Bilzerian decided to try his luck as well by buying tickets for $100,000!
