$2 billion California Powerball winner Edwin Castro has bought a $4 million California mansion after losing $25.5 million on a luxury Hollywood Hills property earlier this month.

The 30-year-old got the winning ticket last month and received a one-time payment of $997.6 million.

Castro soon bought the sprawling bachelor pad, coined as an “entertainer’s dream,” featuring a game room, wine cellar, movie theater, bar, and luxury fitness studio.

This California native recently increased his real estate portfolio yet again, buying a $4 million mansion in his hometown of Altadena – just a short walk from the gas station where he bought his winning Powerball fare.

His new Japanese-inspired palette is protected from the public eye by olive trees and has a stunning, unobstructed view of the San Gabriel Mountains, dirt.com reported.

The director details the five-bedroom, four-bathroom 1953 home as modern with a Japanese influence. It features high ceilings, crisp white walls, and simple lamps perfect for displaying an art collection.

The residence’s living room has a fireplace while the dining kitchen is equipped with Thermador appliances. Throughout the estate are stunning garden and mountain views.

Two of the five bedrooms have been reconfigured as an art studio and soundproofed movie theatre.

Stepping outside the U-shaped home, there is a pond, patio, and saltwater pool. The property can park over a dozen cars off street in a detached garage for two cars and a detached covered carport.

The first home that Castro bought after his big win has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two bathrooms. The 13,500 square feet of living space boasts panoramic views of downtown Los Angeles to Century City.

The space also includes a gym, cold plunge pool, wind cellar, movie theater, and sauna.

Outdoor features include an infinity pool, spa, two fire pits, and a built-in braai area.

Castro applied more than three months after purchasing the winning ticket at a gas station in Altadena, and was declared the winner on February 14 by California Lottery officials.
