Meadows to offer Jackpot Pick5 wager

Starting January 5, The Meadows Racing will introduce a new wager into its daily offerings. The standard Pick5 will be replaced by a Jackpot wager on races 4-8.

It will be a 20-cent play with a 20% takeout rate.

“Our Super Hi5, which is also a Jackpot pool wager, has proven to be very popular among bettors,” said Scott Lishia, Director of Racing. “The Pick5, as a 50-cent wager, hasn’t been everyone’s favorite, but we believe that turning it into a 20-cent play with a Jackpot pool is going to give it new life.”

After takeout, the remaining pool will be split in the case of multiple winning tickets (or with no winning tickets), with 50% going to the winners and 50% to the Jackpot. It will take a single winning ticket to collect the Jackpot.

The 2022 racing season at The Meadows will begin on Wednesday, January 5, with racing on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons at 12:45.
