And to the dismay of everyone in the Crypto.com Arena, Olmos did just that before riding away with his arms raised in joy.
One man who couldn’t believe what he had just seen was D’Angelo Russell, with the Lakers star’s jaw on the ground after watching it unfold right next to the basket.
Olmos was then presented with his $100,000 check as he beamed from ear to ear on the court.

Another joked, “That fan can shoot better than most players on the Lakers roster.”
While a third said of Russell’s reaction: ‘I’ll always love seeing a professional athlete get excited for the people who make these.’
However, some felt that Olmos’ celebrations were somewhat tame for a man who had just pocketed $100,000.
One wrote: ‘bro celebrated like he won a $50 gift card.’
While another commented: ‘This guy isn’t excited enough considering how much money he just won and that bothers me lol.’
Capping off an unforgettable night for Olmos, the Lakers earned a 132-131 win over the Raptors thanks to a 41-point win from Anthony Davis and 22 from LeBron James.
