California Dreamin’ Big
Our first three dream homes can be found in Southern California and, believe it or not, are owned by the same guy, who nailed a huge Powerball jackpot win! Edwin Castro won the $2.04 billion jackpot prize and has since bought himself a few upscale homesteads.
- In Hollywood Hills, this mansion is tucked away high above the city of lights of Los Angeles. This three-story beauty boasts five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a gym, and an entertainment room that features a movie theatre. This home is an astounding 13,500 square feet, with a beautifully landscaped yard that includes an infinity pool, hot tub, and sauna.
- This winner’s Altadena home was purchased solely for his parents, featuring five bedrooms and five bathrooms. This Italianate-style home has a saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen, and a Japanese-style zen garden.
- Saving the best for last, the Bel Air mega mansion! This hulk of a home has seven bedrooms and eleven baths! There’s a space for everyone, including a DJ booth, movie theatre, indoor basketball court, and champagne room! Moving outdoors, guests can relax poolside or enjoy watching the koi fish swimming in their pond.
Tennessee Lakeside Luxury
A Powerball-winning couple from Tennessee made their dreams come true with the purchase of a lakefront property. Their jackpot win helped them achieve their dream of purchasing a home on 320 acres of lakefront serenity with 100% private lake access. This home’s price tag was about $6.2 million, but no mortgage was needed when you have a $1.8 billion jackpot win! They filled the home with luxury furniture, and the lake with boats and jet skis.
A Cowboy’s Castle in SD
The US still offers wide-open spaces to farm, raise cattle, horses, or other livestock, or enjoy the breathtaking views of plains, prairies, or mountains. One South Dakota cowboy took that sentiment to heart with his purchase of 47,000 acres near Bismarck. Purchased with family in mind, he built five luxury homes, with the main residence possessing an Old West vibe. A large barn, arenas, and outbuildings complete the ranch and turn this luxury purchase into a working ranch and farm property.
Barn Dreams and Dog Agility in Stillwater, MN
Joe and Rhonda, winners of $11.7 million, followed their hearts to a countryside dream near Stillwater, Minnesota. Rhonda, a dedicated dog sport enthusiast, made one thing clear. This dream home had to include space for her German Shepherds’ agility drills. They found the perfect property complete with a massive barn-turned-training facility and acres of fenced-in land. The main home offers luxury comforts, but it’s the dogs that scored the real win here with their custom obstacle course and expansive outdoor access.
Finally, Room to Breathe and Jam!
Before their $2 million Powerball win, Tim and Kim were crammed into a modest two-bedroom home, struggling to contain decades of keepsakes, records, and memorabilia. Now? Their dream home comes with dedicated space for every collection, from vintage comic books to Tim’s legendary guitar gallery. Each guitar now has a proper wall-mounted display, and their finished basement serves as a jam-session-ready music room complete with soundproofing. A dream come true for this music-loving couple, and a well-earned breath of fresh space.
Powerball Dreams: What’s Yours?
From Bel Air to barns, Powerball winners are building legacies, fulfilling lifelong dreams, and creating deeply personal sanctuaries. Whether you dream of luxury on the coast, lakeside calm, or a custom-built kingdom for your passions, one Powerball ticket might just change everything.
So… what’s on your dream mansion wish list?
