Powerball billionaire Edwin Castro showed off his vintage Porsche as he exited a California bank — after dropping $29 million on two Los Angeles mansions.
Castro, 30, was seen exiting a Chase bank in Southern California on Wednesday flashing a white envelope as his guard trailed after him and got into his $250,000 white convertible.
He got rich overnight in February after emerging as the winner of November’s record high $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot.
The billionaire styled an Under Armor long sleeve top, black loose pants and flip flops as he beamed from ear to ear.
Castro appears to be spending money wisely. He recently bought a sprawling $4 million home in Los Angeles and another $25 million estate in the Hollywood Hills, where his neighbors will be Ariana Grande and Jimmy Kimmel, just days before.

Castro’s life changed when he bought the winning ticket at a local gas station last year.
His identity was revealed at a press conference in February that he declined to attend in order to remain ‘private’.
But the billionaire’s life has been on display as his multimillion-dollar purchases made headlines.
Castro’s recent $4 million Japanese-inspired estate is the latest in his real estate portfolio.
The five-bedroom, five-bathroom aesthetic home features manicured gardens and a sun-soaked swimming pool complete the home’s exterior, while the inside is decked out with plenty of luxurious amenities.
His latest purchase comes with its own home theater, private office and expensive artwork, which is sure to be enhanced given Castro’s hefty new bank balance.
Altadena’s home is just a short drive from where Castro grew up.
When Castro gets tired of the $4 million estate, he’s only about 20 miles from his second California complex, which he bought for $25 million just eight days earlier.
The sprawling 13,578-square-foot home on a hill, complete with a full outdoor kitchen, gym, wine cellar, and infinity pool.

After months of anticipation, California Lottery Director Alva Johnson announced that Edwin Castro was the winner of November’s historic jackpot win. He chose to take a $997.6 million buyout
His real estate expansion comes after it was revealed that Castro is being sued by a fellow California resident who claims he had the winning ticket and it was stolen from him.
Despite the legal challenge, Castro reportedly finally claimed a $997 million lump sum payout last month after winning the winning ticket in November.
At the time of the win, lottery director Alva Johnson said Castro wanted to remain private and declined an invitation from lottery officials to attend the press conference.
In a prepared statement, Castro said, “As much as I am shocked and ecstatic to have won the Powerball draw, the real winner is the California public school system.”
California public schools act as beneficiaries of the state lottery.
It means the education system received more than $156 million as a result of the record-breaking win.
