New Zealand’s iconic TAB is putting a massive $10 million on offer if a Kiwi punter can correctly
pick the finishing order of this year’s edition of The Everest, the world’s richest race on turf, at
Randwick in Sydney on Saturday, 19 October.
The $10 million The Everest Mega Millions pool was scooped last year in the inaugural year of
the promotion by an Auckland customer who correctly placed all 12 runners in order, from the
winner Think About It right back to Alcohol Free in 12th place.
The free-to-enter competition for TAB customers will open on 16 October once the final field is
available, with entries (one per customer) to be placed through tab.co.nz/everest-mega
millions.
The two New Zealand horses, I Wish I Win and Joliestar, that have been confirmed as starting in
The Everest are sure to attract plenty of support from TAB customers when they shift their
selections around into their preferred order. Alternatively, customers can also use the Shuffle
button to automate their entry.
With more than 400 million possible results in a 12-horse field, Cameron Rodger, Managing
Director – New Zealand of Entain Australia and New Zealand, the operators of TAB, is prepared
to take on New Zealand’s astute racing fans again, even after last year’s shock winner.
“I was pretty blown away to get the call last year that someone had won, but we’re prepared to
put up the $10 million to test Kiwis’ ability to conjure up a moment of genius for the second year
in a row,” Cameron Rodger said.
“The presence of I Wish I Win – racing for us in the Trackside Media slot – and Joliestar is already
making this edition of the A$20 million The Everest pretty amazing for Kiwis, but imagine if
lightning struck twice in two years with this competition?”
Entries will be open at tab.co.nz/everest-mega-millions on 16 October, and will close 15
minutes before the race jumps on Saturday, 19 October.
