Mysterious Disappearance: Powerball Winner Edwin Castro Vanishes After Record-Breaking Jackpot

Edwin Castro, the winner of the $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot, disappeared from social media and treated his friends to a luxury trip to Fiji before his identity was made public. After choosing the lump sum payment option, Castro kept his newfound wealth largely secret. Upon returning from his vacation, he hired bodyguards and began managing his windfall with his brother. Castro also faced spam messages from scammers and a lawsuit from a man claiming to be the rightful owner of the winning ticket. Despite the legal challenges, Castro has made significant purchases, including a $25 million mansion and a $47 million estate, while remaining grounded and focused on making a profit.
