Sacramento, CA — There is a $20,134 carryover in the Jackpot 6 going into Saturday’s card (Dec. 20), with a mandatory payout set for Sunday, so there is a great chance to turn a small bet into a large payday this weekend.

The Jackpot 6 is a 10-cent wager with a reduced 16% takeout that is contested on races three through eight on the program. The wager finds 70% of the net pool paying out nightly to the tickets with the most winners when there are multiple tickets, with the remaining 30% designated for the carryover.

A single winning ticket takes home the entire pool and the carryover. There is a mandatory payout on Sunday, so if the Jackpot 6 should carry over on Saturday, a large payoff is very possible.

A new Jackpot 6 will start when racing resumes Friday, December 26, as the Watch and Wager LLC meet expands to three nights a week.

“Cal Expo is the first harness track in America to offer a Jackpot Pick 6,” Cal Expo General Manger Chris Schick explained. “The wager was targeted toward the lottery type player, and our regulars have also liked being able to take a shot with say 120 combination tickets for $12 as well.”

In addition to the Jackpot 6, there are three other wagers offered nightly that come with that reduced 16% takeout. They are the 50-cent Pick-5; the 20-cent Pick-4; and the 10-cent Hi-Five on the nightcap.
