A former mechanic before his lucky win, Castro has been using his winnings to form his own mega car collection.
The $500,000 Porshe is just one of the supercars he's been spotted driving in recent months.
In December 2023, Castro could be seen enjoying a leisurely Sunday drive in Los Angeles inside a black Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe, which costs an estimated $135,491.
Edwin Castro went from mechanic to splashing cash on supercars & Hollywood homes after $2billion Powerball lottery win
He was also spotted pulling up in a gorgeous green coupe for an appointment with his lawyers in November.
Castro won the biggest lottery prize in history in November 2022 and didn't waste any time making some purchases with his $996 million lump-sum payout.
The latest pictures come a month after Castro was seen beefing up his security at his $25 million California estate.
Castro's around-the-block private security team has been on high alert since April after a home near his $25 million Hollywood Hills bachelor pad was burglarized.
The break-in occurred after three suspects smashed several glass windows of a mansion in the high-end neighborhood before entering the home, according to local CW affiliate KTLA.
It's unclear if anyone has been arrested.
Since the break-in Castro's security team has been spotted flying drones up and down the roads for any activities.
Castro's burglar trouble coincides with his legal ones.
In February 2023, one of Castro's rivals, Jose Rivera, sued him stating he was the rightful owner of the prized $2 billion ticket.
According to Rivera, he purchased the winning ticket, but his former landlord, Urachi F. Romero, stole it and handed it to Castro.
Rivera, 49, has stubbornly fought in court despite being charged with filing a false police report.
Pasadena police have since investigated the claim about the Powerball ticket and determined that he wasted the department's time and resources on frivolous reports.

Edwin Castro's Powerball win timeline
When and why Castro got sued
On November 7, 2022, Castro bought a winning Powerball ticket at Joe's Service Center in Altadena, California.
The grand prize was $2.04 billion at the time - the largest in US history.
On February 14, 2023, the California Lottery announced Castro's win, and he took home a one-time lump sum payment of $997.6 million.
Castro's identity was released, but little information was known about the former mechanic.
In May 2023, Jose Rivera, a gardener from California, filed a lawsuit claiming that he was the rightful owner of the golden ticket.
Rivera claimed his former landlord Urachi F. Romero stole the ticket before it ended up in Castro's hands.
Since filing the suit, Rivera has been charged with filing a false police report and was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation by a judge.
However, Rivera pleaded not guilty to the charge, passed the evaluation, and continues to defend his story.
The man has since pleaded not guilty to filing a false police report.
Rivera has since gone through several attorneys as many have either withdrawn from the case or been fired by Rivera.
Rivera is now being represented by John Michael Flanagan, whose previous clients include Michael Jackson's personal physician Conrad Murry.
To combat Rivera's onslaught, Castro hired veteran attorney Michael Freedman of The Freedman Firm.

The high-profile attorney has also represented disgraced comedian Bill Cosby when he was accused of assaulting a teenager at the Playboy Mansion in 1975.
Many members of Rivera's family have come to his aid saying they believe his story.
