The jackpot consists of the full carryover plus 80 percent of new bets on the Rainbow 6.
On Wednesday, there were 14 Rainbow 6 tickets with all six winners. Each received $1,075.32 on the 20-cent only bet.
Wagering on the Rainbow 6 was $27,154. Under the rules for non-jackpot days, Gulfstream took out 20 percent of that amount, divided 56 percent among winning tickets and added 24 percent to the carryover.
