WATCH: Fan sinks half-court shot, wins $95k at Lakers game
MANILA, Philippines — One Lakers fan went home $95,000 richer on Tuesday night (Wednesday in Manila).
 
Jerald Acoba from California sank a half-court shot to win the Big Shot Jackpot.
 
After sinking the Hail Mary shot, Acoba pointed to his wrists, a nod to Laker D'Angelo Russell's "ice in my veins" gesture.
 
 
Acoba is the fifth winner of the Lakers' Big Shot Jackpot and is the second winner this season. Travis Milne from Santa Maria, California made the same shot for $35,000.
 
The Lakers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, 116-102, to snap a three-game skid.
