Canadian Rapper, Drake was one of the NBA Finals bettors who earned payouts after the Denver Nuggets’ Game 5 victory at home Monday night to win a title.
However, his winnings were probably very high compared to the others.
He revealed before Game 5 on his Instagram story that he had $242,584 in Bitcoin on Denver winning the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
“The Joker,” Drake said in his story, talking about star center of the Nuggets Nikola Jokic. “Cash me out. Gotta see this one hit right here. It’s a must.”

Following Denver securing the deal against the Miami Heat, Drake earned a whopping sum of $824,785 in payouts. The One Dance crooner is already worth millions, but this type of win comes with a massive celebration.
Drake who goes by the moniker “Champagne Papi’’ on Instagram, posted two more stories showing how the outcome of the finals had made him a happy man.
“Me and Eddie after Nuggets finally get me a sports win @stake,” Drake wrote with a Polaroid picture of Jokic and teammate Jamal Murray smiling.
Denver’s Murray is also a Canadian, so Drake’s next story was a still shot of the shooting guard after the victory with Canada’s national flag and “cash me’’ written in capital letters.
Murray delivered only 14 points in Game 5, which is low for his postseason standards. He delivered eight rebounds and eight assists over 41 minutes.
The Joker headed his team offensively with 28 points and 16 rebounds and was awarded the title of Finals MVP.
