We like to think of our big multi-race bets as a single ticket. But they aren't. A $403.20 pick 6 on a .20 base is 2016 individual bets. Because of the dead heat, 2 of those 2016 individual bets hit.
It's awful for the player. But the fact is, he hit 2 of his 2016 tickets.
Unless the track wants to start paying out single ticket winner pools to multiple players, they can't pay the major award to a single player that holds multiple winning tickets.

I'd have to agree. The degenerate in me has fantasized about being live to all in a jackpot sequence. My next thought is always "there would probably be a dead heat."
Probably one of the toughest beats ever, but he had two winning tickets.
