Mandatory Hi-5 payout Saturday

MILTON, ON – Woodbine Entertainment today announced a mandatory payout will be offered on the Standardbred Jackpot Hi-5 this Saturday (July 31) at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

The Jackpot Hi-5 carryover currently sits at $137,352.52 following Tuesday evening’s card and is estimated to be more than $150,000 on Saturday. The Jackpot Hi-5 wager will continue to be offered on each card leading up to Saturday’s mandatory payout.

Horseplayers have two more opportunities to hit the entire Jackpot on Thursday and Friday. If the Jackpot isn’t hit before Saturday, it is estimated to be more than $500,000 with the new money wagered into it.

The last Jackpot Hi-5 Mandatory Payout at Woodbine Mohawk Park (July 3rd) paid $2,615.10 for 20 cents. Last year, on February 15, a Jackpot Hi-5 Mandatory Payout at Woodbine Mohawk Park with a carryover of $152,000 paid $41,354.03 for 20 cents.

The Jackpot Hi-5 requires horseplayers to select the top-five finishers in order. A horseplayer can only win the entire jackpot if they hold the only winning ticket for that evening’s wager. If there are multiple winning tickets, half the pool is paid out, while the other half is added to the carryover.

This Saturday’s mandatory payout will see the entire carryover, plus new money wagered, paid out to all those that correctly select the top-five finishers in order. The Jackpot Hi-5 has a $0.20 minimum and a 15 per cent takeout.
