Pedro Quezada: State Lottery Division

Child Support Dept: Authorities say 44-year-old Pedro Quezada, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, owes about $29,000 in back child support, according to Calgary Herald. Quezada claimed a lump-sum payment on Tuesday worth $221 million, or about $152 million after taxes. Sheriff's department spokesman Bill Maer says the state Lottery Division generally satisfies such judgments before winnings are released and PATERSON, N.J. - A judge has temporarily stayed a child support warrant issued for the New Jersey man who just won a $338 million Powerball jackpot. Passaic County Sheriff Richard Berdnik announced Saturday that the warrant has been stayed until 1:30 p.m. Monday, when Quezada is due to appear before a state Superior Court judge in Paterson.
