OLDSMAR, FL. – Tampa Bay Downs will have a mandatory full jackpot payout on the Ultimate 6 wager on Tuesday’s Christmas Eve card, track officials announced Friday.
The Ultimate 6 is a 20¢ wager in which bettors select the winners of the day’s final six races. Normally, there is a full jackpot payout only when there is one winning ticket. If there is more than one winner, 75% of the amount wagered carries over into the next day’s Ultimate 6 pool and 25% is split among those bettors selecting the most winners.
With the mandatory payout on Tuesday, everyone correctly selecting the winners of the fourth through ninth races will share in the jackpot. If no bettor picks all six winners, those picking five of six (or four of six, if no one picks five) will split the full jackpot.
Post time for the first race Tuesday is 12:10 p.m.
