Hamburg, NY — With the jackpot continuing to rise with every passing night, the $2 Pick-7 wager eluded fans once again last week at Buffalo Raceway.

Track management has decided to add to the excitement each night by announcing the number of ‘live tickets’ at the conclusion of each leg. Last Saturday 68 ‘live tickets’ remained heading into the back half (fourth leg) of the wager, but 42-1 bomber George P Hanover sent everyone overboard, ensuring the carryover jackpot’s survival heading into the new week.

Fans will have their next shot at the massive carryover on Wednesday (April 24).

The Pick-7 is a $2 minimum wager held nightly, where fans must select the winners of races 6–12.

Live racing continues at the Hamburg oval on Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 5 p.m., with Friday and Saturday night racing beginning at 6:40 p.m.
