Drake’s $1.5M Bet on Argentina Fuels Fans’ 'Drake Curse' Cheers for Spain
Drake has reportedly staked $1.5 million on Argentina to beat Spain in the 2026 World Cup final. A win in regulation would return more than $5 million, but fans are already pointing to the famous “Drake curse” as a bad omen for Lionel Messi’s side. Within minutes of the wager going public, social media exploded with jokes predicting Spain’s victory. Supporters urged Drake to cash out early, while others joked that La Roja should start celebrations now. Despite Argentina overcoming the curse in 2022, the superstition persists. With Spain one win away from their first World Cup in over two decades, all eyes will be on whether Drake’s high-stakes gamble turns superstition into reality.
