(Daily Mail) Edwin Castro, the winner of the record-breaking $2 Billion Powerball jackpot, is moving on up and adding to his real-estate portfolio.
The fresh Billionaire of Bel Air has now purchased a $47 Million Los Angeles compound, sold by celebrity realtor Mauricio Umansky.
The massive property has seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, a koi pond and an enormous infinity pool overlooking all of LA. It adds to his other Bel Air home and a residence in Altadena.
Castro’s life changed when he purchased the winning ticket from a local gas station last year.
In February, Castro, 31, came forward to claim the winnings from November’s $2.04billion drawing, opting to take the lump sum of $997.6 million. Since then, he has been spotted in a Porsche and at the homes.
