ATLANTA, Georgia (Telemundo Atlanta) – The estimated Powerball jackpot reaches $615 million which is played this Saturday.
The winning numbers for Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing were 17, 24, 48, 62, 68 and 23 and, as has been the case since April 19, the prize rolled over because no one had the winning ticket.
This is the second time this year that the multi-state lottery jackpot has exceeded $500 million.
A Powerball ticket costs $2 and the odds of winning are approximately 1 in 292 million.
This Saturday’s draw is scheduled for 10:59 p.m.
Powerball winners: Edwin Castro, the Latino who won 2,000 million dollars
Edwin Castro, a Latino from California, won $2 billion last November, a record for the US lottery.
Since then, impressive investments, such as a $25 million mansion in the Hollywood Hills, have been the talk of the town. In addition, the 30-year-old acquired another additional property in his hometown of Altadena, California, valued at 4 million as well as a luxury Porsche brand car for an estimated price of 250 thousand dollars.
When driving through the streets of Los Angeles, it is common to see Castro in his vehicle, but always accompanied by a security team made up of at least three bodyguards, due to concerns for his well-being. In April, Castro decided to hire an additional security team to protect both his personal integrity and his property.
In addition, the young millionaire has faced a civil lawsuit filed by an individual named José Rivera before the Alhambra Superior Court. Rivera claims that the lottery winnings belong to him, claiming that he was the one who bought the winning ticket, but that it was stolen.
Despite Rivera’s allegations, the California Lottery has stood by its decision to recognize Castro as the rightful winner of the prize. A lottery spokesperson told TMZ: “When it comes to researching the big winners, the lottery california lottery He has full confidence in his process.”
