The California Powerball winner who landed a $2 billion jackpot last year was served legal papers at his $25.5 million Hollywood Hills estate in a suit claiming the ticket was stolen, according to a report.

A pair of process servers arrived on April 25 at lucky lottery billionaire Edwin Castro’s palatial estate — where amenities include seven bedrooms, an infinity pool and a spa — and were greeted by a man in his 50s who initially tried to dodge being hit with the suit, The Sun reported, citing court filings.

“The subject said we are serving the wrong Edwin Castro,” the papers said. “I advised the subject to contact the attorney if any questions or concerns.” A proof of service was eventually filed on May 17, saying that a man at the pricey digs eventually took the papers, thus officially giving notice.
