Powerball Winner Edwin Castro Loses Malibu Home in Devastating California Wildfires

The $3.8 million beachfront property was among over 10,000 structures destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire, which continues to ravage Southern California.

Edwin Castro, winner of the record-breaking $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot in 2022, lost his Malibu home in the Pacific Palisades wildfire.
The $3.8 million beachfront property, purchased in 2023, was reduced to rubble, leaving only concrete pillars and charred remains.
The Palisades fire has burned nearly 20,000 acres, destroyed over 10,000 structures, and forced the evacuation of more than 130,000 residents across Los Angeles County.
Castro's other properties, including a $25.5 million Hollywood Hills mansion and a $4 million Altadena home bought for his parents, remain unaffected by the fires.
The wildfires have claimed at least 10 lives and destroyed homes of several celebrities, highlighting the ongoing devastation in drought-stricken California.
