$214,000 carryover up for grabs in Rainbow 6

The Rainbow 6 carryover at Laurel Park on Friday will be $214,705. The wager has not been hit in 26 cards, dating back to Feb. 4.

The Rainbow 6 would have been hit Monday if 45-1 Hard Drive had won the last race.

On Monday, $104,741 was bet into the Rainbow 6. Six winners paid $25,119 for a 20-cent wager.

The Rainbow 6 jackpot is only paid out when there is a single winning ticket. On days when there are multiple tickets with six winners – like Monday – or when nobody selects all six winners, 60 percent of that day’s pool is paid out and 40 percent goes into the carryover.

The current carryover is the largest in Maryland since June 6, 2015, when there was a mandatory payout on closing day of the Pimlico meet. The carryover coming into that card was $275,322.

The Rainbow 6 was introduced in Maryland on April, 2, 2015, which was Pimlico’s opening day.

On Friday, the Rainbow 6 will be held on races 4-9.
