Drake Loses $1 Million Patriots Bet as Seahawks Win Super Bowl 60

Overview

• The Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29–13, voiding Drake’s $1,000,000 wager (about R$5.2 million) that would have paid roughly $2.95 million if it hit.
• Drake posted his betting slip on Instagram before kickoff with the challenge "Aposte contra mim se tiver coragem" (“Bet against me if you dare”).
• Reaction online mixed mockery with support, including Patriots fan Mark Wahlberg commenting "HOMEM INTELIGENTE" on the post, which drew hundreds of thousands of likes and about 9,000 comments.
• Coverage tied the loss to the popular "Drake curse" narrative, citing previous high-profile misses such as a $60,000 NBA bet in 2016, a $1,000,000 wager on the Maple Leafs in 2025, and a seven-figure bet on the Chiefs in the 2025 Super Bowl.
• Drake has previously downplayed the idea of a curse as a joke while acknowledging he is a "failed sports bettor" and that wagering "is not [his] gift."
