A California man who became an overnight billionaire after winning a whopping $2 billion on the Powerball has been spotted popping into the bank to withdraw a huge wad of cash.
Edwin Castro, 30, was seen taking his vintage Porsche, worth $250,000, for a spin around town before ducking into the bank.
After winning the biggest lottery prize in US history last year Mr Castro added a jaw-dropping $997.6 million to his bank account.
Mr Castro came forward to claim his winnings in February, opting for a one-time lump sum payment.
Running his errands, the lucky winner was spotted at a Chase bank dressed in a quarter-zip Under Armour top, joggers and flip-flops while out with a friend.
Mr Castro has used his winnings to invest in real estate, buying two multimillion dollar homes in California in March. One was a $25.5 million estate in Hollywood Hills, while the other was a slightly more modest $4 million mansion with views of the San Gabriel Mountains.
His Hollywood Hills home consists of five bedrooms and seven bathrooms - totalling 13,500 square feet of living space.
It has a game room, wine cellar, movie theatre, bar, infinity pool, spa, and fitness studio complete with both hot and cold plunge pools.
His other, slightly less expensive home, is just a short distance from the gas station where he bought the winning Powerball ticket in his hometown of Altadena.
The 1953 home is Japanese style, with five bedrooms and four bathrooms. This home has its own luxury features, including a saltwater swimming pool, cinema, outdoor pond and a garage-carport combo which can fit more than a dozen vehicles.
Mr Castro's two new properties are a huge upgrade from his former living space - a one bed home in Altadena.
His new lifestyle includes a vintage $250,000 Porsche, as well as 24/7 security. He has a rotation of three guards who reportedly protect him and his home around the clock.
Since his massive win, Mr Castro hasn't done any media interviews, however he did release a statement which was read by Powerball officials when they announced him as the winner.
"As much as I am shocked and ecstatic to have won the Powerball drawing, the real winner is the California public school system," he said in the statement.
"The mission of the California Lottery, which is to provide supplemental funding for California public education - both public schools and colleges - makes this a huge win for the state.
"As someone who received the rewards of being educated in the California public education system, it's gratifying to hear that, as a result of my win, the California school system greatly benefits as well."
