LOS ANGELES - Purchasing a $22.5 million mansion? Check!
Powerball jackpot winner Edwin Castro can cross that off his list of purchases following his record-setting $2.04 billion win.
Castro splurged on the Hollywood Hills mansion less than 30 days after his win was first announced on Valentine's Day, according to The Dirt. The 13,578-square-foot home boasts 5-bedrooms, 6-bathrooms, and overlooks the Sunset Strip. The "modern retreat" listed by luxury realtors The Agency had an original asking price of $29.95 million.

The lower-level houses the gym, cold-plunge pool, wine cellar, movie theater, and sauna. The penthouse level is where you'll find the master suite with private balcony, rooftop deck, and the upper 2-car garage.

The jackpot was the largest ever for Powerball and the largest in U.S. lottery history. Only four previous jackpots have ever topped $1 billion, but none of those are close to this prize, which started at $20 million back on Aug. 6 and over three winless months had grown ever more massive.
