Drake revealed he walked away with an insane $40 million jackpot from gambling at Dave & Buster's.

On Friday (March 21), Drizzy shared a video advertisement for the online gambling platform Stake and answered various betting questions. One of the inquiries was to find out Drake's biggest win, which apparently happened on a random night at Dave & Buster's.

"The biggest win I ever had. I was in Dave and Busters," said Drake. "I was getting this random girl to call roulette numbers for me. I hit like eight out of 10 numbers, and I think by the end of the night, we had won like 38 million? 40 million? Yeah, $40 million. It's crazy, the craziest night ever gambling for sure. January of 2024, it was crazy. That's not even the word for it."

He added, "I remember getting back to my hotel, and we were still winning like it was just the wildest night. We just couldn't miss. I won it in like strides, in chunks. But by the end of it, the majority of it was in Dave and Buster's, and by the end of it, it was $39 million."

When it comes to winning big, Drake is no stranger to swimming in money. In 2022, the Toronto megastar won $17.9 million on one roulette spin and pocketed almost $25 million playing the same game with French Montana later that year.

The losses have hurt Drake's pocket too, as he lost money betting on things like the UFC. Drake lost a total of $3.6 million betting on Israel Adesanya. Drake also loss $1 million betting on the 2022 FIFA World Cup Final and another $700,000 on various NBA and NHL games.
