As previously reported<\/a>, someone in New Jersey won the Powebrall jackpot in Saturday night’s drawing. The pot was $338 million. The winner shouldn’t be the only one getting paid, however. <\/p>\n

It turns out that winner Pedro Quezada owes $29,000 in back child support. As reported by both NPR<\/a> and Reuters<\/a>, New Jersey law enforcement officials have said as much. Hopefully he’ll set aside some of the remaining cash for any future payments he’s accountable for. <\/p>\n

According to Reuters, Quezada opted for the lump sum payment for his winnings, which will get him $211 million. That should still take care of it. The report also quotes a statement from the sheriff, saying Quezada is subject to potential arrest until the warrant is satisfied. <\/p>\n

The Powerball website has a page<\/a> that shares winners’ stories. I wonder if the child support part will make it in Quezada’s story. So far, the story is not on the site, and is listed as “pending”. <\/p>\n

Quezada’s winning numbers were: 17, 29, 31, 52, 53, Powerball: 31. In addition to the jackpot winner, Saturday\u2019s drawing saw a Match 5 Power Play winner ($2 million) in Iowa, and $1 million Match 5 winners in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. There were a total of 2,486,305 winners on Saturday, and $30,662,765 in non-jackpot prizes won.<\/p>\n

The current Powerball jackpot is at $50 million with the next drawing scheduled for Saturday. <\/p>\n
