The Jackpot pool at Leopardstown reached a staggering EUR171,432 on the back of a rollover from Hennessy day last month.
Following the shock victory of Champagne Native in the final leg, 19 winners each receive the handsome dividend of EUR6,767.
The winner was running from 12LB out of the handicap proper, but was travelling best from some way and had little trouble holding the spirited challenge of Good Shuil from the last fence.
Jenniferjo (6/1-5/1) partnered by Ruby Walsh was well backed prior to landing the opening leg of the Jackpot, The Ballsbridge Hurdle.
Always close to the pace, she out-stayed her rivals from the home turn to beat Champion Hurdle entry Chimes At Midnight and the favourite Mutakarrim comfortably by 2 1/2L and 5L.
According to his trainer, the runner-up badly needed the race and will take his chance at Cheltenham in either the Champion Hurdle or the Supreme Novices Hurdle.
I Got It quickened up well on the run-in to beat the gambled-on Dutch Lad (7/1-5/1) by 1 1/2 L. Winning trainer Arthur Moore said:'I Got It disappointed us last time but he is a very nice horse indeed. He will probably now go to Fairyhouse or Punchestown and then go chasing next season.'
A sizeable gamble went astray in the opening Landsdown Maiden Hurdle when Satco Express (5/2-7/4) finished a well beaten 3rd behind the Denis Murphy-trained Nearly A Moose.
