Powerball champ Edwin Castro soars through California 10K race days after being cleared of theft allegations

Talk about taking your money and running.Powerball winner Edwin Castro charged through a California 10K race Saturday morning — days after a judge cleared him of allegations he stole his record-breaking $2.04 billion ticket.The free man, 31, soared through the Manhattan Beach 10k run in 1 hour, 1 minute and 42 seconds, race results show.Castro’s 9:55 per-mile average made him the 1,772nd overall finisher out of 3,612 racers.That also landed him the 189th spot for the male 30-34 age bracket, which had 255 total runners.The Post caught Castro looking slightly distressed as he picked up his race bib Friday.The lottery winner was spotted frowning as he looked down at his phone in one hand, with his racing number in his other.It’s not clear how much the billionaire donated toward the annual race, which raised $750,000 that typically goes toward funding community centers and public spaces.Entry costs topped off at $50 for the 2024 race, meaning Castro may have at least handed over a Ulysses S.Grant bill.The race comes four days after a California judge tossed out a lawsuit by Jose Rivera that alleged Castro stole the winning ticket from him back in 2022.The judge ruled that “players are solely responsible for securing their tickets against theft, loss, damage, or destruction.”It means Castro no longer has to fight to prove he is the rightful owner of the jackpot, the biggest in US history.Castro nabbed the life-changing jackpot in November 2022, and opted for the lump sum payout of $997.7 million....
