Drake in line to win $1.2m on Toronto Maple Leafs vs Tampa Bay Lightning

Canadian rapper Drake will pocket $1.2million if the Stanley Cup playoffs series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning goes the distance.

Drake is well known to be an active player at Stake.com, as well as a big supporter of cryptocurrency.

He recently doubled down on his commitment to digital currency by teaming up with the global crypto sportsbook, and it appears that he is still eager to place some big money wagers.

The multi-platinum megastar on Wednesday placed a $400,000 bet on the Maple Leafs' first-round series against Tampa going all the way to a 7th game.

Wednesday night saw Lightning win the second game of the playoffs series 5-3, with the seven-game series now tied at 1-1.

As it stands, Drake is five games away from winning a cool $1.2m.
