This happens just about daily but mainly on first fours.
Here is an absolute classic from today.
NSW TAB FIRST FOUR LISMORE RACE 1.
POOL 7470
TAB take 22.5% 1667
Pool left 5743
Jackpot 5059
Actually Paid out 684
DIVIDEND SHOWN $11486 ????????????????
Now we have the hosts on sky saying things like " Oh boy wish I was the one that got that, good luck to whoever did"
I am no eggspurt but couldn't the advertised dividends and comments made be classed as blatant false advertising.

The notional dividend of $11,486 is what you would have received for a full dollar investment.
It appears that only ~6.5% of $1 was invested on the winner - presumably via Flexi-Bets which allow per-permutation investments as low as 1 cent.
Presumably the Sky experts failed to notice that the Trifecta paid more the the 1st4.
