Chase/JP morgan has multiple private banks throughout the country. Cant even be considered to be a client unless you have $10 million I believe. They also have private client accounts that you need at least $150,000 to be apart of as well that are a little more common but still rare to the average person. Trust, they will approach you if you qualify :pachaha:

Thanks for the heads up

Because it could happen to anyone and folks wonder how their own life would change overnight.
True! The fascination is because this person woke up, brushed his teeth, went to the gas station and bought a lottery ticket that changed his life. This is simple to understand for the average person and there is no complex analysis. I am the opposite, I like to know how billionaires built their businesses, it fascinates me. The Dangote, Mostepe, John D Rockerfeller, Musk, etc.

$2B suit against Powerball winner Edwin Castro claims real champ was blackmailed, told ticket was ‘a loser’

$2B suit against Powerball winner Edwin Castro claims real champ was blackmailed, told ticket was ‘a loser’​

A California man suing Powerball winner Edwin Castro over a $2 billion winning ticket claims he was blackmailed and falsely told the ducat “was a loser.”

In court papers, Jose Rivera argues he’s the rightful owner of the $2.04 billion jackpot
, buying the winning ticket Nov. 7, 2022 — a day before the drawing — from Joe’s Service Station in Altadena.


But a man identified as “Reggie,” Urachi F. Romero, allegedly “stole” the ticket and “refused” to return it despite Rivera’s requests, the complaint states.
Rivera said he repeatedly asked “Reggie” to hand over the ticket once the winning numbers were revealed.
Instead, “Reggie” told Rivera “the ticket was a loser” and “if I find the ticket we can split the winnings 50/50,” the suit states.
It’s unclear how the ticket wound up in Castro’s possession.


He took home a lump sum of $997.6 million after revealing himself as the winner in February.

Castro has since purchased two multimillion-dollar California homes and a vintage $250,000 Porsche convertible.

Rivera, however, says he reported the theft to police and the California Lottery, and repeatedly tried to notify the agency of his concerns.

He believes store surveillance images will prove his case and has requested the state lotto agency “make available for our review all video depicting the purchase of the winning ticket.”


But the California Lottery has said it “remains confident that Edwin Castro is the rightful winner.”

In the latest twist in an already bizarre case, Castro is seeking to quash any notion that he was properly served papers related to the suit.

Rivera’s legal team mistakenly sued — and served — Castro’s father, who goes by the same first and last names but has a different middle initial.

“The Edwin Castro served was not the winner of the Powerball jackpot referenced in the Complaint,” his motion states.

Either Castro's got the shyt eating grin of someone who got away with it, or the pessimists in this thread were right about dudes tryna hit a lick one way or another :jbhmm:

The California resident who became an overnight millionaire after winning the $2 billion Powerball prize flashed a wide grin as he was spotted dipping into his large fortune on Wednesday.

Edwin Castro was photographed taking out a fat envelope of cash from a Chase bank Wednesday with his newly hired security team in tow.

The lucky 30-year-old, who was dressed down in a quarter-zip Under Armour shirt, joggers and flip-flops while running his bank errand, added a whopping $997.6 million to his account when he won the largest lottery prize in US history last year.

They go through rigorous checks including looking at store cameras. Trust me, they would not validate Edwin Castro as the winner unless they were 100% certain he purchased the ticket. Especially a prize of that size.

Couldn’t be me tho.

Buying those homes, to me, sounds like “yeah you could. But did you ever think whether or not you SHOULD?”

Good luck to him.
