Edwin Castro won a $2 billion Powerball jackpot in November.

Castro has been spending his money quickly and making poor financial decisions.

He bought multiple expensive mansions, including one in the Hollywood Hills and one in Altadena.

Castro also purchased a $250,000 Porsche 911.

Maintaining these homes will cost Castro between $765,000 and $3 million per year.

Financial managers advise against making big purchases immediately after coming into a large sum of money.

Castro chose to receive $1 billion right away, resulting in a decreased amount after taxes.

Castro's hasty spending and investments in high-end real estate may lead to him losing all of his money quickly.
