On January 3rd, 2016, David Moya walked out of the Staples Center with a giant check for $95,000.00 in both hands.
Moya swished a halfcourt heave to win the MGM Grand Big Shot Jackpot at Sunday’s Lakers game.
A competitive power lifter from Oakdale, Calif., Moya originally wanted his 5th grade son to take the shot in between the third and fourth quarters, but luckily for both, Dad got to show Christian — and the other 18,995 in attendance — how to come up big.
Moya’s phone battery died during the game, but Christian was able to relay the reaction from family back home.
Moya says he’d like to put the money toward a Toyota Land Cruiser, but he’s got to check with his wife on that.
Having hosted hundreds of those contests over the years, I have never seen a fan make the shot. Time to study his moves in case you ever get the chance to play for a big prize!
