Enthused by the super success of Derby day jackpot three weeks ago which had swelled to Rs 2.30 crore thanks to the added amount of Rs 1 crore, the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) is set to take another calculated gamble by announcing a sum of Rs 50 lakh as added amount for Sunday's PBMM (Poonawalla Breeders' Multi-Million) card. Experts believe the total collection in the jackpot pool will cross the mark of Rs one crore.

It means if you nominate winners of the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th races on the card in a ticket costing only Rs 10, you could be going home a crorepati. Besides this special attraction, one lucky racegoer who can accurately predict the first four finishers in the PBMM will drive home a luxury sedan car in what is billed as the "FREE contest of skill".
