TwinSpires Player hits first Rainbow Six Jackpot at
Gulfstream
A TwinSpires.com player turned a dime base wager into a $221,677.41 return
Thursday by hitting the first ever Rainbow Six jackpot from Gulfstream Park. The
player, who did not want to be identified, reacted to his score by saying, “I
heard the commentators on TV say there was only one ticket alive to the 1, 2 and
10, but they were talking about a person holding all three numbers on the same
ticket and I only had the 1 on mine. I wasn’t sure until I saw the payout —
then I was very happy.”
When asked how he assembled the winning ticket, he said, “I use a
handicapping program and add my own input from the past performances. I love
playing the Pick 6 at Gulfstream because it is 10 cents and I can spread a
little wider. I’ve had some luck with it — I hit a $1,600 ticket the other day
— and play it every day at Gulfstream. When I play the races from home, I use
TwinSpires.com.”
Now that the wager has been hit, Gulfstream jumpstarted the Rainbow Six on
Friday by seeding the pool with $15,000. The Rainbow Six only pays out its
carryover pool only when the winner of the Pick Six is a single ticket holder.
