His big smile totally makes cents.
The California resident who became an overnight millionaire after winning the $2 billion Powerball prize flashed a wide grin as he was spotted dipping into his large fortune on Wednesday.
Edwin Castro was photographed taking out a fat envelope of cash from a Chase bank Wednesday with his newly hired security team in tow.
The lucky 30-year-old, who was dressed down in a quarter-zip Under Armour shirt, joggers and flip-flops while running his bank errand, added a whopping $997.6 million to his account when he won the largest lottery prize in US history last year.
Castro came forward in February to claim his winnings and opted for a one-time, lump-sum payment.

He probably bought up all the outstanding First Republic shares on advice from his democrat congressman.
He needs to buy his way into Singapore or Dubai - and stay there.
CA does not allow anonymity.
Doesn’t mean you have to be flashy about it, though.
He seems to be on a course to spend 100 mil this year...Keep that up and broke in 10 year predictions are pretty accurate.
That CA public skool ejukashun and all that...
Of course. But then the paranoia can read it’s ugly he’s when you stressed thinking the security team will turn on you

Yeah, but...what a great ten years!
You may want to look at the pic of his "buddy" who is getting into his car.
At least move into an apartment building with enhanced security and stay there for a few years until people forget about you.
Have everything delivered and don’t interact with the world.
I put him down for $25 on Dead Pool...

He should have created a trust for the ticket so no one would have known who the winner was.
Water always finds its level.
“thinking the security team will turn on you”
Stranger things have happened......I’d tend to be more concerned with whatever legal representation I retained.......that barrel of snakes is notorious for stealing from rich people.....many entertainers and pro athletes can attest.
There's no anonymity for California lottery winners.....
Security
No but like I said, I think dude coulda at least went to the bank without all the added publicity.....that would just be common sense to me.
He’s unwise. He wants to show the world that he’s made it. If I were him, I’d be basically doing all my purchases online and stay forgotten for a few years.
FWIW, that was just a cash withdrawal (if that really was the case) with no indication on how much it really was.
With that being said, how do you keep the press from following you? Looks like one of those paparazzi type sneak photos........
Every Federal agency knew he had won and everything else about him before he knew
