WATCH: Dean Tran Contemplated Shooting Half-Court Shot Backward At Lakers Game To Win $100,000 Park MGM Big Shot Jackpot

While the Los Angeles Lakers were working toward snapping a two-game losing streak and gaining ground in the Western Conference standings, Staples Center witnessed Dean Tran of Camarillo, Calif., win $100,000 by sinking a half-court shot during the Park MGM Big Shot Jackpot.

Tran is the ninth winner of the contest, though Vlade Divac made his on behalf of charity. The promotion began during the 2006-07 season. Tran is the second winner this season, as Ali Sabbouri of Anaheim, Calif., won $30,000 on Oct. 22, 2018.

Prior to Sabbouri, the Park MGM Big Shot Jackpot was memorably won by bounty hunter and Space-X employee Suni Strong Jan.
