"I'll take 'things that were never said' for five hundred, Alex."

California $2.04 billion lottery winner claims to be happy, but not for himself, mind you.

"As much as I am shocked and ecstatic to have won the Powerball drawing, the real winner is the California public school system," Castro said in a statement, according to Fox 11 Los Angeles. "The mission of the California lottery, which is to provide supplemental funding for California public education both public schools and colleges, makes this a huge win for the state."

Castro declined the opportunity to speak to the press or appear publicly.
