If I held one of these combinations and someone else here had the other, would be having this debate? The fact that it exists on a single players ticket doesn’t change the logic
X/X/X/5/X/X and X/X/X/7/X/X both won. Each ticket got 1/2 the minor award because there isn’t a single winning combination.
You can’t have separate rules for when this circumstance occurs on a single bettor’s winning combination or on two tickets held by two bettors.
The ONLY way you can argue that he should get the major award is if you also agree that you and I should split the major award if we each held one of the two winning combinations.
