‘YOU’RE GOING TO FALL, CASTRO’
Meanwhile, Castro’s legal battle with his nemesis, José Rivera, remains ongoing.
Rivera, 49, sued Castro in February 2023, claiming the $2 billion Powerball ticket was stolen from him.
The plaintiff alleges that its former owner, Urachi “Reggie” Romero, stole the ticket before giving it to Castro and benefiting from it.
Castro’s lawyer has repeatedly denied Rivera’s allegations, insisting that lottery The winner never met either man.
Romero also told The US Sun that he never profited from the victory.
However, Rivera continued his stubborn fight and refuses to give up his demands.
Pasadena police officers even accused Rivera of filing a false police report after an investigation into allegations about the Powerball ticket determined that he wasted department time and resources on frivolous reports.
Rivera, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, told The US Sun he will fight tooth and nail to prove he is the rightful owner of the billion-dollar ticket.
“I am the legitimate winner, and Castro is the fake one, the liar, the liar,” he told The US Sun in January.
“I’m ready to fight for the world with Castro, I’m excited. He will see for himself, he will be in shock at what is to come.
“See you soon in court, Castro. Liar. You’re going down, Castro.”
