The much-anticipated Super Bowl matchup between Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady ended with another Lombardi Trophy for Brady, and the game continues to make headlines days after due to the streaker that stole the show late in the fourth quarter, much to his own benefit it seems like:

That's right, the famous Super Bowl streaker, Yuri Andrade, allegedly had a prop bet and took matters into his own hands in order to win a large sum of money, $375,000 to be exact, according to TMZ.
There is some doubt about the legitimacy of this report:
1/ A lot of hullaballoo today about the #SuperBowl streaker purportedly making a $50K bet at +750 that there would be a streaker during the game.
Per a global-market sportsbook spokesperson:
"No book in their right mind would take $50K limits on that. Nowhere close."

Look at the anthem prop. Can bet couple hundo here and there. Gets bet up huge on Friday after the rehearsal. Books take it down. You actually think if there were 500 guys all betting $100 the streaker prop at the same time the book wouldn’t take it down. LOL

The Super Bowl is always one of the sporting events with the greatest amount of money spent on bets all year, and this year's game was no different. Prop bets have become more popular in recent years, and this year's included the color of the Gatorade, touchback during the kickoff, and someone running onto the field, which allegedly was taken into his own hands with a lot of money on the line.
He was arrested and charged with trespassing, but that's a little price to pay for the amount of cash he claims to have ended up winning. It remains to be seen if something of that nature would discredit or void the bet, but as of now, that hasn't been announced.
The Super Bowl dragged to a finish and the fourth quarter was scoreless for both sides, but at least somebody ended up winning hundreds of thousands of dollars by doing things on his own terms. With money on the line, people will do whatever they can to win a bet as well all ended up seeing on Sunday.
