Dylan Black Eagle and Chairman Cedric Black Eagle were playing slots at The Venetian Hotel and Casino when Dylan hit the jackpot. "I looked at my dad and I asked him, 'Did I just win?' and he gave me a high five," Dylan told The Billings Gazette.
After taxes, Dylan Black Eagle will take home about $700,000. He and his wife will use the money to pay off their house, buy their son a car and make an investment plan.
