Castro’s life changed when he purchased the winning ticket from a local gas station last year.
In February, Castro 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.





His identity was revealed at a press conference that he declined to attend to remain ‘private.’
But California state law requires lottery winners to disclose their full names, whether they want to or not.
The billionaire’s life has been on display as his million-dollar purchases have made headlines.
Castro has been living large since his winnings, now buying three separate California mansions for a total of $76 million. He was also seen driving away from a bank in a vintage Porsche.
The new seven bed, 11 bath palazzo comes with DJ turntables, a champagne tasting room and a suspended glass walkway.
Upon entering the building the foyer boasts a giant, swimming pool-sized koi pond with glass walls and an infinity pool.
The entire house is wired for found with even those having a dip in the pool able to feel the beat making it the perfect place for a party.
The home even complete complete with a bar area, a glass-walled wine cellar and huge home theater and screening room.
Naturally the bedrooms boast walk-in wardrobes, sitting areas termed ‘relaxation suites’ and large bathtubs – the pinnacle of luxury.













One of his new homes is a $4million mansion, also in the Los Angeles area.
The home comes with its own home theater, private office and expensive artwork, which is sure to be improved given Castro’s hefty new bank balance.
The Altadena home is only a short drive from where Castro grew up.
If Castro tires of the $4 million estate, he is only around 20 miles from his second California complex, which he bought for $25 million one week earlier.
The sprawling 13,500-square-foot hillside estate, comes complete with a full outdoor kitchen, gym, wine cellar and infinity pool.
At the time of his win, in a prepared statement Castro said: ‘As much as I am shocked and ecstatic to have won the Powerball drawing, the real winner is the California public school system.’
Public schools in California act as a beneficiary to the state’s lottery.
It means the education system received over $156 million as a result of the record-breaking win.
