East Rutherford, NJ — The weather may be colder than cold in the northeast, but the wagering has been heating up at The Meadowlands, especially when it comes to the Jackpot Super Hi-5.

The fifth race on Thursday night (Feb. 19) features a Jackpot pool with a carryover of $23,438.55, while the last race Jackpot carryover has grown to a robust $123,872.48. Both wagers are offered with a 20 cent minimum and feature an industry-low eight percent takeout rate. Even if the jackpot is not hit, 75 percent of the net pool will be paid out each night.

In addition to the Jackpot Hi-5, the “big-three” in terms of guaranteed pools will be found in their customary places on The Meadowlands program.

The 50 cent Pick-5 will kick off the card in race one, with an average pool of more than $52,000. The 50 cent Early Pick-4 gets underway in race three, with a $50,485 average pool to its credit. Last, but certainly not least, is the 50 cent Late Pick-4 which commences in race seven and features an average pool of more than $72,000.

Post time for the Thursday program is 7:15 p.m.
