7-time grand prize winner shares tips
The winner of the record $2.04 billion-dollar Powerball jackpot has reportedly used his winnings to purchase a California mansion worth $22.5 million.
Edwin Castro, who did not appear at the press conference announcing his win, took home a $997.6 million lump sum – before taxes.
Fewer than 30 days later, The Dirt reports he's now the owner of a luxe Hollywood Hills home, which is perched on the side of a cliff overlooking the valley.
The 13,578-square-foot home has five bedrooms and six bathrooms.

Fox 11 reported that the modern property, which was listed by The Agency, had an initial asking price of $29.95 million.
Castro is reportedly being sued by a man contesting the win, but the California Lottery told FOX Business Digital in February that it remains confident that Castro is the rightful winner.
