Golden Pick 6 jackpot closing in on $1.3 million

For the 57th straight day no one hit the Golden Pick 6 jackpot on Thursday. The jackpot will start at $1,286,839 for Friday’s races, as the wager closes in on a mandatory distribution Sunday.

Tickets with six winners Thursday returned $2,278.10 for a 20-cent wager. The Golden Pick 6 jackpot is paid only when there is a single ticket with all six winners.

With 12 races and the Golden Pick 6 distribution, Golden Gate will have an early 12:45 p.m. first post for Sunday, closing day of the meet.
