Jose Rivera is suing Edwin Castro over the massive haul. Rivera says he purchased the winning ticket, but someone named “Reggie” stole it.
In court papers filed Thursday, Edwin G. Castro’s attorney says the person served with Rivera’s complaint was actually Castro’s father, Edwin H. Castro, and that the father is not authorized to receive such papers on his son’s behalf.
“I told the process server that he was serving the wrong Edwin Castro, but he displayed little concern,” the elder Castro says. In his suit brought Feb. 22, Rivera maintains he bought the victorious ticket at Joe’s Service Center in Altadena the day before the Nov. 8 drawing, but that it was stolen by someone identified only as “Reggie,” a co-defendant in the suit, on the same day.
Rivera asked Romero numerous times to return the ticket, but he refused, telling that plaintiff among other things that the two could split the winnings if he found the ticket, according to the suit, which further states that Rivera refused to be blackmailed and reported the alleged theft to the commission and to law enforcement.
