I would be shocked if they waited all the way until the end of June to pay it out. I'm betting they will force it out sometime in April.

Welsch later tweeted that FL State law requires them to not pay it out until the final day of the meet. Although I assume it will be hit long before that.

If it isn't hit until then, that pot would have to set some kind of record. It would be a lottery-like frenzy for even non-horse players, I assume.

There's a question over whether they'll do a mandatory payout before and in addition to June 29 or whether they'll let it go until then.

Either way, to not have this figured out by now is a joke.

They were allowed to pay out a day early a few years ago when their closing day fell on Easter. I'm pretty sure it'll be allowed again if requested.

When their primary meet comes to a close and the horses shift north, I wonder how much activity the day-in and day-out pool receives. You have to think field sizes alone won't be as high once the winter contingent makes tracks home thus making the bet harder to hit on a single ticket. On the flip side, their signal isn't as popular once the summer sets in.

If I owned GP, I would try and hold onto that jackpot pool as long as possible, especially if people keep betting it.
