Lil Duval Plans to Donate $5,000 Bet Winnings to Raines High School

Make it $5,000 since you think y’all going to win the game. That’s how much I believe, Chad Ochocinco Johnson said before a $5,000 football wager that is now bound for William Raines High School, news4jax.com reported.

Comedian Lil Duval plans to donate the $5,000 in winnings he collected from former Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco Johnson to his Jacksonville alma mater’s football program.

Johnson Loses Bet After Jaguars Beat Bengals

Johnson originally proposed a light $2,000 bet on the Bengals, but escalated the stakes after some online taunting on X. Johnson predicted a 32-17 victory for Cincinnati. Instead, the Jaguars secured a 22-17 win.

Following the final whistle, Duval celebrated the victory by posting a video on X of himself dancing with local comedian Nod Ross. Duval also urged his followers to spam Johnson’s social media account.

Johnson conceded defeat publicly on X. Salute to all the Jaguars fans, I [expletive] love y’all, but I had to root for my team, Johnson posted.

William Raines High School Football Equipment Funding

Johnson transferred the funds after the loss. Duval confirmed he would direct the cash toward his alma mater to buy athletic gear.

We good, Duval said. He sent me the money, and this is what I’m gonna do with the money. I’m gonna take the money, and I’m going to take it to Raines High School and pay for some football equipment for them.

This contribution follows previous support from the comedian. In December 2024, Duval covered the remaining balance for the Raines High School band to travel to Miami for the Florida 3A state championship football game after the group fell short of its $10,000 fundraising goal.
