Mandatory Payouts of Rainbow 6, Late Pick 5 Pools Set for Friday
Rainbow 6 Carryover Pool Grows to $80,790

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Mandatory payouts of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 and 50-cent Late Pick 5 pools, as well as the last-race Super Hi-5 pool, are scheduled for Friday’s twilight program at Gulfstream Park (2:15 p.m. first post).

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 went unsolved Thursday, producing a $80,790.29 carryover pool for Friday’s six-race sequence that will span Races 4-9. Multiple tickets with all six winners Friday were each worth $5,799.88.

The Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot is routinely paid out only when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket sold, 70 percent of that day’s pool 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, a single unique ticket with all six winners is not required in order to take down or share in the carryover jackpot. The entire Rainbow 6 pool is paid out to the holders of tickets with the most winners.

The Rainbow 6 has gone unsolved for six consecutive cards since a mandatory payout of a $5.5 million pool yielded multiple winners of $26,761 June 17.

The 50-cent Late Pick 5 will span Races 5-9.
