Jackpot Hi-5 carryover now over $500,000

The Woodbine Jackpot Hi-5 carryover has grown to over $500,000 following Thursday evening's harness racing card.

Despite a 50-1 upset in the Jackpot Hi-5 race by Deadly Action and driver Scott Coulter, multiple winning tickets connected on Thursday's Jackpot Hi-5 to bring the carryover to $510,899.49.

In order to win the entire Jackpot, a horseplayer must have the only winning ticket to correctly select the top-five finishers in order.

Thursday was the third-final chance for horseplayers to potentially takedown the entire Jackpot, as the Jackpot Hi-5 wager will be suspended and the carryover frozen following Saturday evening's card in preparation for a mandatory payout night on Friday, December 23rd.

Although horseplayers may have visions of hitting the Jackpot, the nightly Hi-5 pool has been strong in recent weeks and has lead to great payouts. A total of $42,550 was wagered into the Jackpot Hi-5 Thursday and a $0.20 winning ticket returned $1,515.84.

Friday evening's 10-race card at Woodbine is the second-last chance to hit the Jackpot before the mandatory payout night. Post time is 7:30 p.m.
