The winner of the largest lottery prize in history has expanded his real estate portfolio with a $47 million mega-mansion purchased in Los Angeles, California.

Edwin Castro was 31 years old when he won a whopping $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot in November 2022. He chose the $997.6 million cash option in February 2023 and claimed his prize. After the required federal tax withholdings, he walked away with $628.5 million.

Castro purchased a $25.5 million home a month after claiming his prize on a Hollywood Hills hillside, living close to Ariana Grande, Dakota Johnson and Jimmy Kimmel.

He also purchased a $4 million Japanese-inspired house in Altadena, CA, his hometown. It's just a short drive from the Mobil gas station where he bought his winning Powerball ticket.

Idiot move, could've just put good amount of the money in index funds, passively he could make a million per month just by doing that

shouldve been me (dont buy lottery tickets)

Man shut the f*** up

Pisses me off that I always buy one at every opportunity for several years now and somehow it's always a jackass who gets their hands on the money

I’ve never bought a lottery ticket

Nigga go tell him that. We know his name and where he lives…

Nigga thinks he’s playing gta online

fr
like he needs any more money for the next 1000 years

Honestly if I had money like that living next to other people us the last thing I’d want. Get me a compound

You could nuke a country with that amount of money

Go to sleep man

If it were me I would immediately buy a house in the NY metro area, Puerto Rico (viejo san Juan) and the DR, and like 3-4 luxury cars (BMW M3, G-wagon, Urus, a Ferrari) and let my accountant handle the rest

How broke would I be?

Op picked dinner with jay z

Always got to think long term

Stop buying them

$2.4B lottery winner but walks away with only $628m

Stop pocket watchin

You never know

If I ever won I’d split it with the KTT guys
