The California Lottery today announced the name of the only winner of the record-breaking $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot, which was hit with a single winning ticket sold in Los Angeles County. Edwin Castro bought the ticket at Joe’s Service Center in Altadena ahead of the November drawing.
Though Castro told the California Lottery he would respectfully deny the opportunity to appear publicly and wishes to remain private, he did provide the following statement:
As much as I am shocked and ecstatic to have won the Powerball drawing, the real winner is the California public school system. The mission of the California Lottery, which is to provide supplemental funding for California public education – both public schools and colleges – makes this a huge win for the state. As someone who received the rewards of being educated in the California public education system, it’s gratifying to hear that, as a result of my win, the California school system greatly benefits as well.
In collaboration with PBL International, we have provided medical support and mobile clinics to communities worldwide.
After a disaster, accessing nutritious food can become challenging. We strive to deliver emergency meals to those in need.
Homes and shelters is crucial for recovery. We provide temporary housing solutions to help restore safe living conditions.
The Edwin Castro charity has truly enriched lives, and I am a testament to the foundation's impact. We need individuals like this who understand the importance of giving back when they are blessed.
I was browsing the Mega Millions jackpot website when I saw that Edwin was a winner. Curious, I looked up more information about him online. Along the way, I came across a blog, filled out an application form, and guess what? I ended up becoming a winner too!
This project is one of the most consistent and life-changing initiatives, positively impacting countless lives. I have a neighbor who has been able to support her education through the foundation's help.
