Traditional carryover occurs when no winning ticket is found, causing the pool to roll over to the next racing day. If the same wager type is offered twice, the carryover usually applies to the later race. Tracks may also offer consolation payouts for near-misses, such as 3 of 4 correct on a Pick 4 or 4 of 5 on a Pick 5.
Traditional Carryover:
-
- If there is no winning ticket(s), the pool will carry-over to the next racing day.
- If the same wager type as the carryover is offered in 2 races the next racing day, the carryover will typically be the later of the 2 races.
- Example: A Pick 5 is offered in race 2 and race 7. The Pick 5 Carryover will typically be in race 7.
- Tracks may also decide to do a consolation payout as well as a carryover.
- The Consolation payout is typically paid out for 3 of 4 correct on a Pick 4, 4 of 5 correct on a Pick 5, and 5 of 6 correct on a Pick 6.
- If the same wager type as the carryover is offered in 2 races the next racing day, the carryover will typically be the later of the 2 races.
- If there is no winning ticket(s), the pool will carry-over to the next racing day.
