The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $550,000 Friday at Gulfstream Park.

The jackpot pool is only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day s pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.
