There was only one winning ticket and it was on a $0.50 ticket. In that situation the track displays the $2 dollar payoff in part because it makes the payoff look gigantic. You have to take the gross pool, which was $20,787, then deduct the 4% takeout, which was $831.48. You are left with about $19,950, the $0.50 cent payoff.

Same thing happens when one dime takes down the whole superfecta pool. You can end up with a $200,000 super payoff when in truth the pool doesn't have nearly that amount of money.
