Edwin Castro’s life transformed dramatically after winning the historic $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot in November 2022, the largest lottery prize ever recorded. Shortly after his massive win, Castro treated himself to two opulent homes in California. He first bought a breathtaking $25.5 million mansion in Hollywood Hills in March 2023, three months after he claimed his lottery prize. According to several reports, the estate boasts an impressive 13,500-square-feet of luxury, with features like five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a game room, a wine cellar, a movie theater, a bar, a fitness studio, and a spa.

Opting for a lump sum payout of $997.6 million, Castro has since indulged in several luxury purchases.

Among his notable acquisitions is a $25.5 million estate in Hollywood Hills, featuring five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a game room, a wine cellar, a movie theater, and an infinity pool.

His windfall was not without controversy, though. In April 2023, Castro found himself facing a lawsuit from a man who claimed that the winning ticket was stolen. The California Lottery officials stood by their comprehensive vetting process and backed Castro as the legitimate winner.

Additionally, Castro has splurged his newfound wealth on luxury vehicles, including a $250,000 vintage Porsche.
