Tampa payoff question

[JohnGalt1]

Please help me with this puzzle.

Tuesday 4/4 I played a $1 pick 4.

7) 1
8) all
9) 178
10) 57

Cost was $48. The $2 payoff was $438.40. I was home when I read the results, so figured I'd collect $219.20.

Today I put the ticket in the SAM and it spit out $876.80.

The 8th race of 8 horses had one late scratch,and the 9th had a late scratch of the 7.

If I got a consolation wins for the 2 scratched horses, why did it pay 4 times my bet? And if I got consolation wins, that explains why it didn't trigger a W2G form.

Also I played a $1 pick 3 with my 8,9,10 picks from my pick 4. The dollar payoff was $19.60. I didn't notice what I got paid since it was low enough, to fly under the radar, but did I collect $19.60 or 2, 3, or 4 times that with sonsolation wins?

I happily cashed the tickets, but I'd like to find out why?

Thanks in advance.

You got the post time favorite in those scratches. Which is obviously a horse you already bet. Thus you had four winning tickets instead of one.

Nice surprise, eh?

How come that kind of stuff never happens to me? The way I've been going lately I could put in a winning ticket and somehow I would owe them money. :)

You're right. I noticed that the favorites won those two races.

My single was a $19.00 horse so I was hping for a long shot in the deeper races. I got the long shot pricing thanks to the late scratches.

Thanks for the responses.
