€1 Million Up For Grabs At Gowran History will be made at Gowran Park this Sunday when the Tote Pick 6 pool is set to top €1 million for the first time. Following a number of shock results at both Leopardstown and the Curragh on Longines Irish Champions Weekend the Pick 6 wasn’t won and the pool of over €432,000 has been rolled over to Gowran Park. Tote Ireland expect unprecedented interest with such a massive pot up for grabs and are anticipating large numbers of players from both home and abroad. “It’s the nature of modern Tote betting,” says Tote Ireland CEO Tim Higgins, “the pool now extends far beyond the individual racecourse. The punter who places his bet on track at Gowran is playing for a pool into which people from all over the world are betting.” “Online technology is transforming Tote betting. This Sunday for example, we will be able to take bets for the Pick 6 online from Saturday, a day in advance. This would have been impossible just a few years ago.” “It’s a unique feature of Tote that we can deliver such a massive Pool to any Irish racecourse on any given Sunday. It’s also unique to Tote that as the level of interest grows, the potential returns for the punter grow too. The more people play into the pool, the more there is to be won. We don’t shorten our price as the money goes on in the way bookmakers do!” Higgins concluded. To win or share in Sunday’s Pick 6 you must correctly select the winners of the first six races at Gowran Park. To Play the Pick 6 this weekend, visit thetote.com
