Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 will be held at Gulfstream Park Saturday, when the pool is expected to swell into the millions.
The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the 13th racing day in a row Friday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $772.70.
When Rainbow 6 betting begins Saturday, there will already be a pool of $1,066,988.63 carried over from Friday s card.
The Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot is usually only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day s pool usually goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool. However, on mandatory-payout days, the entire pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the six-race sequence.
