Paris Las Vegas says one of their lucky guests won over $160,000.

They tweeted a photo of the winner and said Michael Barrows of California hit the progressive jackpot for Face Up Pai Gow.

When asked what he would do with the money, he jokingly said, “Winning this is going to cost me a million because I’m going to have to buy a house for my wife!”

His wife, Elena, is the woman in the photograph.
