Campbellville, ON — A single ticket was able to connect on Thursday (June 29) night’s Jackpot Hi-5 at Mohawk Racetrack for a payout of $43,174.75 (USD).

It is rare to see just a single winning Jackpot Hi-5 ticket when the favorite wins, but that’s exactly what happened in Thursday’s finale. Dorabella, the 6-5 favorite, was an easy winner in the C$10,000 event for pacing fillies and mares. The top five was then completed by a trio of longshots and the second-choice.

Just one ticket correctly had the combination of 6-5-8-7-3 to score a $43,174.75 (USD) payday.

Here are the top five finishers from Thursday’s Jackpot Hi-5 race:

1st: #6 Dorabella (Trevor Henry) – 6-5
2nd: #5 Brittle (Mike Saftic) – 45-1
3rd: #8 D G Nickabocker (Randy Waples) – 70-1
4th: #7 Sparkle (Jody Jamieson) – 11-1
5th: #3 Mach Majorette (Travis Cullen) – 7-2

A total of $14,279 was wagered into the Jackpot Hi-5 pool, which had a carryover of $44,421 heading into Thursday’s card.

The winning ticket was a straight 20-cent wager using 6-5-8-7-3. The horseplayer made the winning wager with TwinSpires through the Portland, Oregon, hub.

The Jackpot Hi-5 will now start from scratch on Friday evening’s card. Post time is 7:30 p.m.
