East Rutherford, N.J. -- With a carryover of $18,653
enticing over $140,000 in new money to Friday (February 5) evening's 50¢ Pick 5
at The Meadowlands, a hefty dividend was a near certainty. Thanks to two
significant longshots prevailing in the sequence, just one punter was able to
select all five winners, and that player from Maine was rewarded with a
dividend of $109,966.10.
In addition to Mr Lover ($5.80), Sheer Flex ($5.40), and
Clear View Hanover ($8.40) giving Tim Tetrick a hat trick in the Pick 5
sequence, longshots Sherkin Hanover ($35.80, Anthony Napolitano) and Never Ever
Clever ($86.80, Corey Callahan) took their respective races and perplexed all
but that one player from the Pine Tree State. Punters who selected four
of five winners correctly earned a consolation dividend of $255.70.
