NEXT SUPER HIGH FIVE WINNER WILL CASH $100K

Meadowlands Media Relations

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – A big wave was created last Saturday (Feb. 10) at the Meadowlands when the Early 20-Cent Jackpot Super High Five resulted in a payoff of over $15,000.

This Friday, or whenever the Late JSH5 is finally hit, the payoff will pack a tsunami-like punch, as the next time there is a “jackpot” winner, that lucky patron will walk away with an extraordinary payoff of over $100,000.

Meadowlands die-hards will certainly stick it out to the 13^th and final race Friday night, as the carryover for the bet that requires one to select the first five finishers in the official order of finish – and be the only one to do so – now stands at $101,270. Last Saturday’s pool took in over $20,000 in “new” money, so one can surmise that a similar amount would be pumped into the pool this Friday as well.

“Now that the carryover is over $100,000,” said Jason Settlemoir, the track chief operating officer and general manager. “It creates more interest in our signal. When you have a Pick-4 pool that is pushing $100,000 followed by a Jackpot High Five pool that is over $100,000, we believe these pools are large enough to bring new night-time players into the system. We are also confident that they will now start wading into the other Meadowlands pools.”
