Wednesday's Rainbow 6 Carryover Swells To $1.7 Million At Gulfstream Park
Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
The 20-cent Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot swelled to $1,778,601.01 for Wednesday’s program after going unsolved for the 20st straight program Sunday at Gulfstream Park.
A total of $578,543 was wagered into the pool for the popular multi-race wager, which offered a $1,639,779 carryover jackpot heading into Sunday’s card. Multiple tickets with all six winners each returned $1,638.64.
The popular multi-race wager was last hit Jan. 28, when the mandatory payout of a North American record $19.779 million pool produced multiple winning tickets worth $15,566.
