It is like the lottery, except you get to eliminate some of the ping pong balls!

Okay so let me ask a question,why do they pay off for BOTH 6 correct picks and 5 correct picks? Shouldnt they only pay for those who got all six correct?

They do that because it gives players more incentive to play another time and because it's such a difficult bet that they think people deserve something for coming close. . . If you play the thing and lose by a nose in the last leg then the couple hundred bucks or whatever you get will be further motivation to play it again and cycle that money back in to the pool . . .

A certain % of the P6 pool goes into a 5 of 6 consolation pool for the reasons hockey gave above.
