The winner of the $2 billion California Powerball, Edwin Castro, has just dropped $25.5 million on a luxe Hollywood Hills mansion, The New York Post can confirm.

Castro, who claimed the winning ticket just last month, opted for the one-time lump sum payment of $997.6 million, lottery officials said.




And it looks like he wasted no time putting his new money into some new real estate.

Made up of five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the sprawling property occupies more than 1250 square metres of living space.



Castro received a slight discount on the home. It initially listed for $29.95 million.

Standing behind private gates above the famed Chateau Marmont, it was created by Roman James Design and comes with all the luxe amenities imaginable.


Pegged as an “entertainer’s dream,” amenities include a game room, a wine cellar, a movie theatre, a bar, and a fitness studio with a hot and cold plunge.

Exterior features include an infinity pool, a spa, two fire pits and a built-in barbecue area.




Panoramic views of Downtown LA to Century City are seen through a wall of Fleetwood glass doors, the previous listing notes.

Built in 2022, the main room comes with a fireplace, a dining space and an open kitchen with black granite counters.




A double-height stairwell leads to the upper level, which holds the primary suite. The main bedroom comes with a private balcony and a spa-like bathroom.

There’s also a rooftop deck and a five-car showroom.
