JACKPOT HIGH-5 CARRYOVER FOR FRIDAY STANDS AT $164,779; PICK-9 CARRYOVER FOR FRIDAY UP TO $31,601

 

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. (May 16, 2012) – There will be two significant carryover pools to shoot for when racing at Arlington Park resumes on Friday, May 18.  The carryover into the Jackpot High 5 has swelled to $164,779 while the Win Pick 9 carryover has risen to $31,650.

 

            The Jackpot High-5 is a $1 wager that requires the bettor to select the first five finishers in exact order in the last race of the day.  The Jackpot provision means that the entire pool pays out only when there is one and only one winning ticket sold that correctly selects the first five finishers in exact order. 

 

            In the event there are multiple tickets sold with the first five finishers in exact order, 50% of the daily Jackpot High-5 pool will be distributed to those ticket holders and 50% of the daily Jackpot High-5 pool will be carried over to the next scheduled Jackpot High-5 event and added to any existing carryover pool.

 

            The Win Pick 9 is a 10-cent wager that requires the bettor to correctly select the winner in the first nine races of the day.

 

            The takeout on both wagers is just 15%.

 

First post on Friday is 3 p.m. CDT. Post time for the day's ninth race for the Jackpot High-5 will be at approximately 7 p.m. CDT.
