Jack “CouRage” Dunlop just played an extremely lucrative game of Fortnite: Battle Royale.

The former Call of Duty World League caster and current content creator for OpTic Gaming won $70,000 earlier today in crazy fashion. Well-known YouTubers MrBeast and miniminter told CouRage that they’d each donate him $35,000 if he won his next game of Fortnite—and CouRage emerged victorious.

With just two players remaining in this Solo game of Fortnite, the storm quickly started to close on CouRage and his opponent’s position. CouRage used a Bouncer Trap to get out of harm’s way while his opponent was lost in the storm—securing the victory and a $70,000 pay day for the popular streamer.

CouRage’s celebration was just as sweet as the Victory Royale itself. He shouted “oh my god” multiple times immediately following the win, and as the donations from MrBeast and miniminter came in, he was almost left speechless.

CouRage made sure to call his relatives to share the good news—and he even called his former CWL casting partner and longtime friend Clint “Maven” Evans, who told CouRage that he’s paying for tacos this weekend. This was truly an insane moment that CouRage and many of his fans will likely never forget.

But the madness might not be over just yet.

CouRage is participating in week four of the Fortnite Summer Skirmish series, where he could potentially win even more money tonight. The first-place prize for tonight’s competition is $67,500—so CouRage could double up his already impressive pay day with some more Victory Royales later tonight.
