Also keep in mind that this 6-1 comes with a tax form as well since the total payout would have been over the threshold. Most times, even when they hit, people lose money because the return was less than the investment. Then you get the double whammy of losing money and still getting a tax form.
Of course, none of this matters, because, as Hooves pointed out, even with 50k to play with, they didn't go deep enough in the most wide open race in the sequence.
