MANHATTAN (KSNT) - One of Manhattan's own is competing on national television for a chance to win $250,000.
Jonah Evarts is a contestant on NBC's 'Destination X'. Players are blindfolded and dropped in mystery locations, using strategy to figure out where they are. Jonah was born and raised in Manhattan, Kansas. He turned his love for reading and traveling into a TikTok career.
From there, he was discovered and flown out to a mystery destination.
