Drake donates $1million in bitcoin to LeBron James' charity and $100k to NBA hopeful after huge roul

LEBRON JAMES received a stunning $1m donation to his charity from Drake after the rapper won big on roulette.

The NBA star, 37, set up the I Promise School to help disadvantaged kids and young adults in his hometown of Akron.

And he was delighted to receive the huge cryptocurrency donation after the Canadian hit the jackpot on Stake.

Drake took to Instagram to reveal the good news to his 105m followers - and there was also another $100,000 thrown in for a hard-working NBA hopeful.

The rapper shared his huge win in an Instagram Stories post, revealing the moment he won bumper cash on black No11.

He revealed in the video: "Anytime I get blessed like that, I always think it’s good karma that needs to be transferred.

"So, I play for fun and I play in hopes that I can spread love always. So tonight, I’m doing a dinner with my brother [James].

"We’re doing a Lobos dinner tonight.”

Drake captioned the clip: "Family Blessings with my brother @kingjames courtesy of @stake there's no better feeling in the world."

Young basketball prodigy Michael Evbagharu was invited to Toronto restaurant Harbour 60 by Drake and LeBron, where he was accompanied by his mother.

The rapper describes her as the most 'hard-working woman' and tells his fans they are 'going to bless them tonight'.

Michael and his mom meet with the two stars of music and sport, exchanging hugs ahead of Drake's big reveal.

'WOW, WOW, WOW!'

He pulls out huge stacks of notes totalling $100,000 and presents it to Michael's mother, saying: "Hopefully it makes this journey a little easier."

Evbagharu’s stunned mother is seen asking James whether this is "a dream".

The 6ft3 point guard plays at Royal Crown Academy near Toronto and is catching the eye of both NCAA and USports universities.

During the past few weeks, Drake has been giving his winnings from cryptocurrency betting platform Stake to fans around the world.

But the Certified Lover Boy rapper wasn't finished there, ending the video with a further donation to LeBron.

He continued: "I'm going to, myself and Eddie from Stake, are going to dedicate $1million to the I PROMISE School and I’m going to come and drop it off myself.”
