Bachelor in Paradise host Jesse Palmer therefore allowed the couple to pick one of three envelopes, each of which contained a check for a different amount of money.
The couple ended up selecting an envelope with $190,000 inside.
"I actually have student loans as well, but not too, too many," Jess revealed during the Tuesday, September 9 episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast.
Jess said "as well" because Alexe Godin had memorably discussed how she needed money to pay off her student loans on Bachelor in Paradise's September 2 finale.
"I do have a little bit of that, so I am definitely going to put a little bit towards that," Jess shared.
"And we obviously want to take a trip! I mean, we do want to go on a trip. We've got to treat ourselves."
But Jess insisted "the majority of" the prize money will "definitely go towards our future together."
Speaking on Spencer's behalf, Jess said the money will help with "a wedding, investing, and moving."
Jess gushed, "I'm literally moving to Dallas at the beginning of the year! And we're going to have our own place and pick out all the things."
The Bachelor alum noted how she and Spencer are "really excited" to start the next chapter of their lives together.

Even though Spencer is happy to have won the money, he admittedly wasn't a fan of Bachelor in Paradise's new game show format.
"I just don't think that that format lends itself well to meshing with a show where the end goal is to find love and find your person," Spencer said on the podcast.
"It makes it really tricky," Jess agreed.
"Luckily, for all of us here, it worked out so well," Spencer said.
"And I loved the challenges. I think that was a huge plus, seeing how we deal with adversity... and disagreements, losing, and communicating in high-stress environments."
But Jess pointed out how Spencer was "pissed" at the time of filming about the money twist because it was going to put a target on their backs.

While Jess and Spencer weren't the only couple who found love on Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season, they were the only couple who left Costa Rica engaged.
In addition to Spencer and Jess, Alexe and Andrew Spencer also won money in the amount of $25,000 on Bachelor in Paradise.
