Paul said when he went to check his ticket the clerk joked, “I’m sorry sir, I don’t think I can pay you that amount.”

He said he plans to pay off his mortgage, buy a new car and help out some family and friends.

He also said he’s always wanted to travel to New York, so he’ll definitely do that as well.
