Default Cup Contest 1 million dollars.

Easy game, any takers...I have trouble picking the top one.


The Game is Fantasy. The Million Dollars is Very Real.

Here’s your chance to become a millionaire in roughly two minutes. Pick the correct order of finish for the top 10 horses in the Breeders’ Cup Classic and you could take home $1,000,000! Learn more

Somehow, I think their money might be safe. Even if you manage to do the impossible and hit it, they pay you an annuity of $25k a year for 40years. I would only be 109 when I get the last payment. Nevertheless, I will likely be playing. No different than playing the lottery, I suppose and it costs you nothing.

Probably be a piece of cake for us Remington players. Horses in this contest actually have form and consistency.

Delta Downs has used this gimmick with its Delta Jackpot in past years.

With 10 starters, mathematically, this is 10!. 10! is 3,628,800. I would lay odds that this one will not get hit.
