DRONE footage has shown Powerball winner Edwin Castro has unpacked and moved some items into his new Beverly Hills mansion worth over $45million.

Castro cashed in on the largest Powerball Lottery jackpot in United States history in January after he turned in the winning ticket from a November 2022 drawing.

Castro cashed in on the largest Powerball Lottery jackpot in United States history in January after he turned in the winning ticket from a November 2022 drawing.

With a total prize pot of $2billion, the California native took home a lump sum distribution just shy of $1million at a total of $997.6million.

Along with hiring a 24/7 bodyguard service with the newfound fortune, Castro began spending considerable amounts on real estate.

He purchased a new house in his hometown of Altadena, located about 15 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, and he later bought a mansion in the Hollywood Hills.

Although his third home, a seven-bedroom residence in Bel-Air at a price tag of $45.8million, stood out from the others.

The Bel-Air mansion is known as the Palazzo di Vista.

It was designed by famed surgeon Alex Kadavi through a working relationship with the Ali Rad Design Group.

Clips from a drone capturing the property have been exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun and reveal some of the home's most luxurious features.

The Palazzo di Vista notably offers an immaculate backyard for Castro and any guests.

Footage showed the deep blue infinity pool with lounge chairs overlooking the city landscape and panoramic views of Los Angeles and Century City in the distance.

Grass in the yard was cut short and featured a stone walking path to a floor-to-ceiling glass sunroom at the back of the residence.

A top-of-the-line outside grilling area with a fire pit was also noticeable.

Moving toward the outside of the house closest to the drone, another natural water area could be seen but certainly didn't distract from the Willy Wonka-esk entirely clear-glass elevator extending up the right side of the home.

It rose to the rooftop, which was a spectacle in its own right.

The roof of the Palazzo di Vista is entirely flat and accessible, featuring several couches and lounging areas for those who stay at Castro's home, along with several plants for decor.

As the drone panned farther, viewers could also see the blacktop driveway and garage door on the right subsection of the property.

Inside is a multi-car showroom, where Castro allegedly keeps several luxury vehicles he purchased.

Palazzo di Vista comes with a complete luxury car showroom


A long-distance shot showed the entire 13,500 square foot space towering over the edge of the hill among other neighboring homes in the area.

Images of the inside of the home reveal the scale and quality of all the features viewed from the outside.

The space holds a total of 11 bathrooms alongside the seven bedrooms.

The master bedroom is located on the second floor and has its own private balcony seating area and spa bathroom.

Palazzo di Vista also has a complete gym space, movie theater, wine cellar, and sauna, among other amenities.

A game room with a wet bar is also included.

With all its grandiose features, the Palazzo di Vista was originally priced at $88million before Castro won the Powerball and became interested in the space.

The lottery winner essentially got quite the deal, with it down over $42million from the starting price point.

The media won't leave him alone. He's also been sued multiple times and has dealt with death threats.

People don't respect lottery winners because they think you just got lucky and they think they're entitled to ask you for money and if you don't give it to them they're compelled to rob you, sue you and even try to cause bodily harm to you or even k*ll you.

This is his latest lawsuit against him.


Jose Rivera claims he bought the winning ticket before it was allegedly stolen, and his new legal team is confident he will emerge victorious

Rivera is suing Powerball winner Edwin Castro, the California State Lottery Commission, the state of California, and a man named Urachi F. Romero, whom Rivera has accused of taking his ticket.

Castro, 30, said he was both "shocked and ecstatic" in February after being identified as the winner of the record-breaking $2.04billion Powerball.

The Lottery Commission told TMZ at the time of the announcement: "When it comes to the vetting process for big winners, California Lottery has the utmost confidence in its process for doing so.

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

But Rivera alleged that he was the person who bought the big-money ticket.

He further claimed in his lawsuit that the winning ticket was allegedly stolen by his former landlord, Urachi F. "Reggie" Romero.

Rivera is now working with specialist lotto lawyer Kurt Panouses to win the bizarre battle for the mammoth jackpot - one of eight jackpots to hit $1billion or more in the U.S. since 2016.

And in an update on the case, Pasadena Star-News reported on Sunday that Rivera has now amended the complaint in his Alhambra Superior Court lawsuit.

He has alleged that he has received death threats for making his claim to the prize.

Rivera also continued to maintain that he was the lawful winner.

SECURITY FEARS
His amended suit alleged: “The plaintiff has received anonymous death threats for claiming that he is the rightful winner of the ticket and he been forced to leave his work as a gardener because of the risk to the security of his family and himself."

It contended that Rivera presented a claim form to the lottery’s Chatsworth office on February 15 - the day after Castro said he held the winning ticket.

But, according to Rivera's updated court document, lottery officials told him the matter was "closed."

Rivera alleged that he bought the winning ticket at Joe’s Service Center in Altadena the day before the November 8 drawing.

The updated lawsuit also explained that after visiting Pasadena police while accompanied by legal representatives to discuss his complaint, cops told him that the case was “pending."

The court papers alleged, too, that Rivera had asked Romero to return the ticket, but he had allegedly refused.

The lawsuit also claimed that Romero had told the plaintiff that the pair could split the winnings - if he found the ticket.

But Castro’s attorney has rejected his claims, replying in court papers that Rivera had failed to properly explain how the lottery's declared winner could have allegedly obtained the winning Powerball ticket from Romero.
