Bettor spends $10 to hit Rainbow 6 at Gulfstream for $259,000
The Rainbow 6 jackpot at Gulfstream Park was solved on Saturday by one lucky fan who collected $259,573 for having the only winning ticket on the six-race sequence. And he did it for an investment of only $10.
According to officials at NYRA Bets, the winning ticket was purchased at Longshots, the simulcast facility at Aqueduct. A NYRA Bets spokesman said the winner, who remains anonymous, purchased three tickets, one for $6, a second for $3.60, and a third, which had the winning combination, for a mere 40 cents.
The Rainbow 6 had gone unsolved for 12 days. It was hit on July 27 for $436,076 and again for $20,000 the following afternoon.
Saturday’s winning sequence began with four longshots that included the $59 Lil B Quick in the eighth race, the $132.60 Alarcon in the ninth, and $39.80 Switched in race 10. The winning ticket was alive to two horses, the 9-5 Miss Maserati and 60-1 Kassady Light in the finale, with Miss Maserati leading throughout to register an easy victory.
