Further enlightenment on the jackpot topic from @CHRBMike from three July 27th tweets which are entirely from his twitter page.
[i](1) The California Horse Racing Board reviewed the wagering transactions that led to one account holder winning the entire Pick 6 pool Sunday at Del Mar on an $8 ticket. The records show that the account holder placed 8,613 individual wagers totaling $29,652.
(2) All wagers were placed in batches, the last batch approximately 4 minutes before the first leg of the Pick 6. [b][size=large]All 8,613 wagers used just one horse in each race, or using the popular wagering terminology, with six singles.[/size][/b] However, the denominations of those wagers differed.
(3) Approximately 70 percent were made in the traditional $2 increment. The rest were in various denominations of $4, $6, $8, $10, $12, $14, $16, $24, $26, and $60. The horse that paid $114 and triggered the massive payoff ($173,912) was on only 1 percent of the 8,613 tickets.[/i]
