They were talking about him on the radio yesterday on 101.5
That poor slob, he lives in the worst area in Passaic and they were talking about how he might get kidnapped etc.
"Pedro if you need to hire security that will actually hurt people and carry an illegal firearm..ahh nevermind". lol
POW-POW-POW.. ooh call the meatwagon.

I think its $221M cash payout. Nice he wants to help people, but not too bright that he came out so quick to the public.

You do need a pink guitar Johnny! I'm going to the DR at the end of the month, if I see Pedro I'll put in the good word.

It would be nice to win the lottery if you could remain anonymous.
Then you could just go about your usual business like nothing happened.
If that happened to me I'd probably help people out.
But, I'd still remain anonymous while doing it.

It's an interesting thought. I only rarely buy powerball tix. We all dream about winning. In my younger years, I would be dreaming about a mansion, hot cars, travel, living the high life, partying with celebs..
But last time I bought a ticket, I thought about what if I won, and discovered that I only thought about who I would help out, my family, some friends, and then thought even more into helping out autistic services, like my daughters school, who has to grovel to everyone for funding, and gets very little. I would help out struggling families.. I would personally want to vet out the leeches from the working poor, but that's not hard to do...
I hate when people CAN help, and then donate millions, or even hundreds of millions to starving kids in other countries (bill gates! you fool!), and ignore the poverty at home.
MOST OF ALL, I would dedicate money to the green party candidates and help them win a few elections. I might even bribe local newspaper editors and newcasters on tv to talk about the green party in a positive (and possible) light.

I just on the noon news today that the first thing Pedro did was pay off the almost $30,000 of child support he owed!

I know several guys who pay child support. Most of them.. well, ALL of them are bled dry by it, in some cases, very unfairly. I've known guys over the years who just fell more and more behind .. you can rack up $30k in less than two years EASY..
This guy could afford enough lawyers to BURY that crap, but he manned up and paid, no muss, no fuss. If he was a real AHOLE, he could have caused grief 10 different ways.
So you don't know his story.. maybe he did just slack off, maybe he didn't.
Way to judge someone prematurely though

Meh, he could have taken his millions and moved back to the DR but he didn't. But really $30K to him is like $30 to you or me. And I'm sure he wanted to pay it but like Kramer said it is easy to fall behind. He didn't even have a car!
