After discovering that he won the jackpot, Howell was in disbelief and thought his win was “not real.”
For Howell, what happens in Vegas doesn’t have to stay in Vegas.
When asked what he’d plan to do with his $362,640 jackpot Howell said he's "too young to figure out.”
But after giving it some thought, Howell said he plans to buy a house with his winnings.
