So I am new to this site and don't quite understand how the Rainbow Pick 6 works. I understand that it takes a unique ticket to win the big pot, but how long does this carryover?...and at what point do they end up divvying the big pot up?

    Until someone hits it (by themselves), or until the end of the meet. On the last day of racing there'll be a mandatory payout, regardless of how many winning tickets there are.

    And that's the ONLY playable day. As of a week ago syndicate betting eliminated ANY chance of having a single live ticket. I heard about few morons who only caught 5 on a $6800 play (a ten cent base play) earlier today.

    I lied. Here's the story:

    HALLANDALE BEACH Fla. - The Rainbow 6 jackpot, which has grown on a daily basis since Dec. 28, was finally hit on Friday when one ticket holder correctly picked all six winners to take down a prize worth $3,591,245 for a 10-cent wager. The payoff is the largest on a single wager in the history of Gulfstream Park.

    The winning ticket was purchased at the Meadowlands for $3,118.50, according to the track’s mutuel department. To take down the Rainbow 6 jackpot, a bettor must have the only ticket with the winning combination. Friday’s Rainbow 6 pool totaled $438,733, which meant there was just a single winning ticket out of 4,387,330 combinations played on Friday.

    The winning Rainbow 6 sequence, which did not contain a single favorite, began in race 5 with the 56-1 Keynor Veloz ($114) and continued with Original Cast ($11.40), Odalys Halo ($36.40), Artie’s Jasper ($17.20), Mays Treasuretrove ($23.60) and Feline Forum ($23)


    Kinda sucks, because I actually bet Original Cast and Feline Forum (but then again, that would have made 2 tickets and no winner.)
