The 20-cent Rainbow pick six has a carryover of $1,068,829 on Saturday at Santa Anita, with a mandatory payout a day later on Sunday's closing program of the autumn meeting.
The Rainbow pick six covers the last six races on Saturday's program, which begins at 10:30 a.m., Pacific. The Rainbow portion of the pool is paid only if there is one winning ticket on Saturday. The track is guaranteeing that a single ticket holder on Saturday will receive a payout of $2 million.
Sunday, with no guarantees as promotions, the bet will be fully distributed to ticketholders with six winners, regardless of the number of successful tickets. Under those terms, many deep-pocketed bettors are likely to focus on Sunday's card when the pool of new money may surpass $6 million.
Friday, the pick six pool was $305,092. Tickets with six winners paid $54,328.
The Rainbow portion of the pool has not been hit at the current autumn meeting. Friday was the 20th of 22 days.
