Single winning ticket... He had the only one. If he had 1500 Combos and they printed him 1500 tickets then he wouldn’t have a single winning ticket. If this went to court and I was on the jury I’d find in his favor unless of course they documented that 1500 combos on 1 ticket is 1500 tickets. I don’t think they did and as such they should be held to the literal interpretation. Single winning ticket.

One of this guy's actual selections was scratched in that dead heat leg and that piece of the ticket was moved to the post time favorite who was involved in the dead heat.

(This now qualifies as a double-bad-beat and I didn't even know that was such a thing.)

Very interesting point talking about single winning ticket versus single winning combination because the Remington rules use neither term and instead talk about "Unique Wager" where the term is left undefined.

Is a wager a combination or a ticket? Over to the lawyers.

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.
