35% increase in Vaal Pick 6 pool

The R1,145,834 pool was shared among just 3.158 winning tickets. One TAB customer won the full payout and walked away with a cool R362,822. The remaining R783,012 was shared among 17 players who took fractional bets.

Phumelela Betting Executive Vee Moodley said: “The pool was 35% higher than normal. We normally take about R850,000 on a Tuesday Pick 6, which goes to show that making the bet tougher to win appeals to both big and small punters.

“The smallest percentage won was 1% for a dividend of R11,458,” he added.
