The Rainbow 6 pool returned a whopping $734,403 on a 20-cent ticket Friday after a 33-1 shot helped a single ticket sweep an ever-growing jackpot that had not been won since the 56-day summer meet began July 1.

Just $134,108 in new money was bet into a Single 6 pool that began the day with a $627,139 carryover. The winning numbers (on races 4-9) were 5-1-7-7-8-9, and their respective win odds were 3-1, 5-2, 5-2, 33-1, 8-5f, and 6-1.

Gulf officials reported Friday night that the winning ticket was purchased in Las Vegas and cost $453.60.

The winning 33-1 shot in the sequence was BLUE WHALE in race 7 for trainer Jaime Mejia.
