Remember Edwin Castro?

He won a record-breaking $2 billion Powerball jackpot earlier this year and opted to take a lump sum of $998 million.

Sounds like he's just spending money to spend it

I can think of worse things than Southern California real estate to spend the money.

Dude. Put the money in a high interest account and live off of the interest.

He'll wind up broke, and owing more in debt than he thought was imaginable. Then, he'll kill himself.

He definitely has one of those friends or family memebers that flipped one two bedroom house, profited $2K, and now constantly talks-up real-estate.

Yep. Taylor Swift owns like 11 estates across the world.

Do people believe you can just park $600+ million in a bank account?

I mean it sounds like he's investing at least (hopefully anyway) but...

this would definitely be my play after paying off debt and buying a nice, but modest, house.

Sounds like he's doing the California "buy, hold and sell" investment program. This may be an investment move that involves advisors and real estate agents. If you have cash and need investment vehicles with a low risk of depreciation, if done well this may produce good results.

I like how everyone becomes a financial advisor to a billionaire on this platform.

Maybe he is spending a lot on real estate but that isn't frivolous? Real Estate is an investment...


Good for him and I hope he lives a very relaxed life now.

Buy multiple houses?

I'm not an idiot, I would make safe investments, set up my family, and live a modest lifestyle full of travel and maybe get a low-stress part-time job.

You do you, but if I get over 600 million, modest house isn't the first thing on my mind

Diversify among lots of interest accruing accounts along with real estate is certainly not a bad idea. Not sure this guys plan, but it's not like many idiots of the past spending it on hookers and cocaine.
