Campbellville, ON — Just a single ticket correctly selected the top five finishers in the final race Thursday (May 18) at Mohawk Racetrack to connect for a massive US$152,710.35 Jackpot Hi-5 payout.

The Jackpot Hi-5 carryover, which had been growing since mid-April, sat at C$184,987.99 heading into Thursday’s card. A total of $26,703 was wagered into the pool Thursday.

ER Quinn and driver Louis Philippe Roy scored a 25-1 upset victory in the Hi-5 race over Matrix Of Luck, who was the 3-5 favorite, to help eliminate many Hi-5 tickets. The top five was then rounded out by Mister X, who finished third at 70-1, Blissful Years at 13-1 and Leafs And Wings at 3-1.

The only winning Jackpot Hi-5 ticket cost just $16.20 and was purchased in the Oregon area.

The Jackpot Hi-5 will now start from scratch on Friday evening. As always, Jackpot Hi-5 wagering is available on the final race every night at Mohawk Racetrack.
