The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool was hit for a $220,289 payoff Saturday at Gulfstream Park. The popular multi-race wager had gone unsolved for six racing days in a row.
A single ticket with the winning combination of 2-2-9-2-11-5 was sold.
The Rainbow 6 jackpot is paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70% of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30% is carried over to the jackpot pool.
The Rainbow 6 will start anew on Sunday, when the six-racing sequence will span Races 5-10, featuring a mile optional claiming allowance on turf in Race 6 and a 5 ½-furlong allowance for Florida-breds on Tapeta in Race 9.
