Drake, known for his love of sports betting, has revealed his biggest ever gambling win.
In a video promo for Stake, with whom he has a longstanding endorsement deal, posted to Instagram on Thursday (March 20), the 6 God was asked a number of questions about his love of gambling.

The first question simply asked the Canadian superstar what his biggest win was.
“Fuck… tax questions,” he replied with a laugh. “The biggest win I ever had, I was actually in Dave & Busters — and this is testament to playing in a brick-and-mortar casino versus playing on Stake.

“I was getting this random girl to call roulette numbers and I hit, like, eight out of 10 numbers. I think by the end of the night, we had won like $38 million, $40 million. Yeah, $40 million.
He added: “It was crazy. The craziest night ever gambling, for sure. January of 2024 was crazy. There’s not even a word for it.”
Drake also revealed that he and NBA legend Michael Jordan, who he named his “gambling G.O.A.T.,” once got into a particularly intense game of table tennies with high stakes on the line.
“He’ll gamble on anything. I think it was All-Star Weekend in Toronto and he had an event to be at, and I beat him at ping pong a couple of times,” he recalled.

“He just wouldn’t leave the ping pong table. He just kept betting bands. Like, 10 bands, 20 bands. He kept betting ’cause he just couldn’t stomach the loss. He’s definitely not a quitter. I respect him deeply for his gambling nature.”
Despite his lucrative wins in Dave & Busters and against MJ, Drake has suffered his fair share of losses when it comes to high-stakes gambling.
Last year, he bet $355,000 on Mike Tyson to beat Jake Paul in their contentious boxing bout.
Paul was heavily favored given the age difference, so Drizzy stood to win over a million dollars if his bet came through.

However, the former YouTube star easily defeated Tyson by unanimous decision in the eight-round fight, meaning Drake lost the not-insignificant sum.
The 6 God also blew $2 million after backing Israel Adesanya to beat Alex Pereira in their UFC bout in 2022, a contest he lost in the fifth round.
