Powerball winner Edwin Castro was spotted taking a mystery woman out in the passing lane and taking his butt-slapping new Porsche for a spin, according to photos.
Castro, who won a historic $2 billion prize, and the blonde woman were spotted Saturday at Sushi Park, a high-end restaurant frequented by celebrities. A meal at this high-end restaurant averages $400. The US Sun reported..
The identity of his date is unknown.
The two then hopped into the former mechanic’s new green Porsche. This Porsche was one of three he bought after winning the jackpot in 2022.
The California Lottery said Mr. Castro opted to receive a lump sum of $997.6 million instead of annual payments. Even after his taxes, he still walked away with a whopping $628.5 million.
However, in May 2023, 43-year-old Jose Rivera claimed he was the real winner, recently telling the same outlet that he still has “to prove that I’m the real winner.” “Castro lied,” he said.
The rival was charged with filing a false police report claiming he had bought the winning ticket, but the winning ticket was “stolen” by his landlord and ended up in Castro’s hands. It is claimed that
Castro’s lawyer, David De Paoli, said surveillance footage shows Castro buying the ticket at Joe’s Service Center.
Rivera, who is represented by a public defender in criminal cases, told The Sun that “I can’t afford a lawyer right now” because legal fees are “exorbitant.”
He pleaded not guilty at his recent arraignment.
