There was a complete breakdown of it on all major news sources and what I posted above when it happened..... there are over 48 lotteries, plus Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, included in Powerball and all have separate protocols before it can proceed.... one fucked up

Winner of record $2.04 billion Powerball finally revealed, says they were 'shocked and ecstatic'
The biggest lottery winner ever has finally been revealed.



California lottery officials announced Tuesday the winner of the record $2.04 billion Powerball drawing from November, which is the largest prize in U.S. lottery history. The winner is named Edwin Castro, but if you're looking for more information about the winner, you're going to face some long odds thanks to California's laws.

What do we know about the $2.04 billion Powerball winner?
Other than his name, nothing.

According to the California Lottery, the lottery is subject to public disclosure laws, meaning the winner's name and other relevant information is publicly revealed. This is what gets revealed, per state laws:

  • Full name
  • Name and location of retailer that sold winning ticket
  • Date jackpot was won
  • Amount of winnings, as well as gross or net installment payment information
California Lottery Deputy Director Carolyn Becker previously told USA TODAY the winner had up to a year from the draw to come forward.

At a press conference Tuesday, lottery officials said Castro declined an invitation to appear publicly.

"As you might imagine, anyone would like to largely remain private," said California Lottery Director Alva Johnson. "We offer our sincere congratulations on this unbelievable and historic win."

He’ll be broke before no time



The recent winner of the $2.04 billion Powerball prize is movin' on up ... because he's picked up a HUGE mansion in Hollywood for $25.5 million -- but the price tag is just a drop in the bucket for the newly-minted billionaire.
Edwin Castro, the lucky winner of November's jackpot prize, just snagged a 13,578-square-foot home in the hills of L.A., according to Dirt ...coming just 1 month after claiming his 1-time payment of $997.6M before taxes.


The guy's now going to be living next to huge stars like Jimmy Kimmel and Ariana Grande ... and the mansion comes with all the bells and whistles.
The 3-story hillside pad has an infinity pool, full outdoor kitchen, gym, wine cellar, movie theater, and sauna. It's also got a deck on the roof for anyone wanting to get a view of that perfect Cali sunset.


Edwin might be looking to pick up some extra wheels, too -- because the house has 2 separate garages that can hold up to 7 cars, as well as a motor court out front to fit even more rides.
As we reported, Edwin was getting sued by a man that claimed his winning lottery ticket was stolen -- believing Edwin was involved in the alleged theft. A lottery spokesperson told us, however, the org has the utmost confidence Edwin's the rightful winner.
Way to go, Edwin -- spend the rest wisely!
 
Why is this dumb ass telling people his moves? He’s going to get robbed or even worse. I’d be in hiding . Don’t nobody need to know this shit
Facts them haters and stick up crews are watching and I'm not talking about your ordinary stick up crew.

I’m bias cuz I live here but the type of money he has can go much further than in Cali and allow him to skate around the politics. And he doesn’t have to worry about the low pay they have down here.

Better Air, Better Oceans, not as dry, no state taxes. That’s just a few reasons

This is one of the benefits of living in Ohio. You don't got to disclose shit. Not a goddamn thing.

One of my best friends is a Harvard lawyer who works in DC. That's going to be my first call. He's going to set the shit up for me in a trust and I'm going to ghost. Like power ghost. Maybe Sam Wheat or James St. Patrick. I don't know

I'm going to retire from my job and take them damn 23 years I put in, I'm already at 90% ($2200) disability from the military so I'm going to work toward 100% ($3800), which I got one more claim to push

I want as much money coming in as possible. Then I'm going to turn white supremacy on this motherfucking head. Making moves to help black people succeed in the future. And, do shit that, if they kill me, can progress even then.
 

The California Powerball winner who landed a $2 billion jackpot last year was served legal papers at his $25.5 million Hollywood Hills estate in a suit claiming the ticket was stolen, according to a report

A pair of process servers arrived on April 25 at lucky lottery billionaire Edwin Castro’s palatial estate — where amenities include seven bedrooms, an infinity pool and a spa — and were greeted by a man in his 50s who initially tried to dodge being hit with the suit, The Sun reported, citing court filings.

The subject said we are serving the wrong Edwin Castro,” the papers said. “I advised the subject to contact the attorney if any questions or concerns.”

A proof of service was eventually filed on May 17, saying that a man at the pricey digs eventually took the papers, thus officially giving notice.

The suit against Castro, which was first filed earlier this year, claims he is not the rightful winner, as the ticket was bought by plaintiff Jose Rivera and soon stolen from him.

Rivera claims he was the one who bought the valuable stub at a gas station in Altadena the day before the November 8 drawing, which was worth a record-setting $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot.

Rivera claims it was nabbed by a man called “Reggie” that same day — who has since been identified as Urachi F. Romero and is listed as a co-defendant in the Alhambra Superior Court case.

The complaint, however, reportedly does not explain the circumstances of the alleged theft, including how the ticket may have gotten from Romero to Castro.

Romero allegedly refused Rivera’s demands that he return the ticket, instead claiming to have lost it, but offered to split the winnings should he eventually find it.

Riveria claims he “refused to be blackmailed” and reported the alleged theft to the commission and to law enforcement.

The plaintiff believes the evidence lies in surveillance footage taken at the station, Joe’s Service Center, which he claims proves he was the one who bought the historic ticket.

“In an effort to hopefully reach a prompt resolution of this matter involving the rightful owner of the $2.04 Billion Powerball winning ticket, our client, Jose Rivera, again requests the ‘Lottery’ make available for our review all video depicting the purchase of the winning ticket,” a letter submitted to the California Lottery by Riveria’s legal team said.

We understand the ‘Lottery’ took possession of the video shortly after it was determined the winning ticket was sold at Joe’s Service Station in Altadena, California.”

When it comes to the vetting process for big winners, California Lottery has the utmost confidence in its process for doing so,” a spokesperson said at the time.

“California Lottery remains confident that Edwin Castro is the rightful winner of the $2.04 billion prize stemming from the Powerball drawing in November of 2022.”

C'mon bruh.....

Growing up in the hood we all knew the religious "numbers" players.....and some of them had habits or owed money......

What's to say this cat Rivera didn't owe someone money, got his pockets rolled, (money and lottery ticket) and told to go kick rocks afterwards.......

And that's how Castro got the ticket.....

Now, it is more likely Rivera is full of shit, but hey let's see the evidence before we jump to conclusions...
 
If dude told people that he had a winning 2 Billion dollar Lotto ticket and it got took from him, he doesn't deserve the money.
