LANSING, MI -- A Westland woman decided to keep a secret from her family for months after she won a $1 million Powerball prize last year. Catherine Martin, 63, matched all five white numbers drawn -- 07-10-21-33-59 -- in the Powerball drawing held on Sept. 4 to win the prize.

Catherine Martin said she plans to invest the money as well as save for retirement and her grandkids' college funds.

Edwin Castro, history’s biggest Powerball winner, lost of one his mansions to the California wildfires. He reportedly has at least two others.

Powerball winner Edwin Castro’s Malibu home burnt to the ground in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. Castro, who won the $2 billion Powerball jackpot in Nov. 2022, purchased the oceanside property for $3.

After the deadly fire tore through the area, all that remained of Castro’s $3.8 million home was concrete pillars and smoldering wood.
