The winner of the record $2.04 billion-dollar Powerball jackpot has reportedly used his winnings to purchase a California mansion worth $22.5 million.

Edwin Castro, who did not appear at the press conference announcing his win, took home a $997.6 million lump sum – before taxes. 

Fewer than 30 days later, The Dirt reports he's now the owner of a luxe Hollywood Hills home, which is perched on the side of a cliff overlooking the valley. 

The 13,578-square-foot home has five bedrooms and six bathrooms.
