Why do they pay a conso on the pick 6?
7,

Thank you.. Glad you got the P6, but the SA Derby-Providencia score was pure genius! That was a VERY clever play (ALL/Super Freaky) and I think the double paid in excess of $600.00! Nicely done...

They pay the 5 of 6 consolation for the P6 for just that reason.. "consolation". The bet is so difficult that players deserve a reward for getting that close and the conso serves as an encouragement to keep trying the bet. As often as the P6 goes unhit, there has to be a return on carryover cards for those that had the best tickets when there was no winner of 6 for 6.

I take it that you were surprised that yesterday's play brought back more than $1,000 once the consos were added in!

Glad you did well and appreciate you telling me about it!
