Washington, PA — With carryovers in both the Pick-4 and the Pick-5, The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has increased the total-pool guarantees for both wagers for its Monday (April 23) card. With the hikes, the Pick-4 is guaranteed at $17,500, the Pick-5 at $10,000. Both guarantees are offered as part of the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Initiative.

While $7,500 Pick-4 guarantees and $5,000 Pick-5 guarantees are offered each card, The Meadows sweetened the pot when both wagers were uncovered Saturday, resulting in carryovers of $5,417.60 and $3,063.52, respectively.

Minimum wager for the Pick-4 (races 4-7) and Pick-5 (races 9-13) is 50-cents. Since Pennsylvania law requires a minimum per-race wager of $2, a player wagering at the 50-cent level must bet at least four tickets.
