Billionaire Powerball winner Edwin Castro and his new self-described poet and bikini model girlfriend enjoyed a romantic date night on Wednesday, marking the first time the lovebirds appeared in public as a couple.

Payten Vincent, 24, snapped a photo alongside the California-born jackpot winner during an event at the Soho House in Malibu hosted by fashion mogul Giorgio Armani.

“Last night at the @giorgioarmani event at the @sohohouse,” Vincent’s Instagram story revealed.

The self-described poet and bikini model smiled beside a joyful Castro, who wore a teal button-down shirt during the event.

A second photo uploaded to her account showed a hearty-looking steak drizzled with an assortment of chopped-up vegetables and a white sauce.

On Thursday, Vincent posted a short clip of getting snug next to her new beau as the pair took a joyride around town in one of Castro’s luxurious classic Porsches.

Castro, 31, deleted his social media accounts after winning the $2 billion Powerball jackpot in 2022.

However, his new love interest has a whopping 125,000 Instagram followers, where she posed with rappers Flavor Flav and Kanye West and DJs Diplo and Cedric Gervais at high-end nightclubs.

The pair were first spotted together at Nobu in Los Angeles earlier this month and were then seen the following morning — appearing to be wearing the same clothes as the night before — on a breakfast date in Malibu.

Vincent, who describes herself as a former high school honor student and athlete, worked as a barista at Starbucks in Falmouth, Maine, and a Toronto Dominion bank teller before moving to LA, according to her LinkedIn profile.

Her profile also lists her as a food and film critic, a screenwriter, and a “published poet,” featuring some of her poetry on her blog “Poetry by Payten.”

It’s unclear when Vincent met Castro. However, Vincent’s Instagram posts from seven weeks ago show images of a view of Los Angeles from a high-rise with the caption “new home new heights.”


Another photo features a silver Porsche, while a third depicts Vincent standing next to a pool in a white outfit.

Castro has spent lavishly since winning the historic jackpot, splashing millions of dollars on luxury vehicles and mansions.

He took home an estimated $628 million after taxes – and immediately set about spending his spoils.

He spent $47 million on a massive mansion in the Hollywood Hills and a huge home for his parents in Altadena, California.
