Subject: Fund Raising!
My name is Edwin Castro, the sole winner of November’s record-breaking $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot in California. I purchased the winning ticket in early November in Altadena, California, matching all six numbers in the drawing.
I proclaimed that the real winner of the lottery winning is the California public school system, as California’s public school will receive $156.3 Million in supplemental funds and the prize will be shared with other schools based on average daily attendance records.
I also have rolled out a financial initiative of giving 3 families/persons 2 Million U.S dollars each.
Below is the article about my win:
