Prairie Meadows Racetrack & Casino will offer a mandatory payout of the Jackpot Pick 5 on Monday, Aug. 16 after receiving the green light from the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission.
Going into the races of Friday, August 13, the Jackpot Pick 5 carryover will be $308,607.
“The Jackpot Pick 5 has been growing significantly over the last two weeks,” said Garrick Mallory, Assistant Director of Pari-Mutuels at Prairie Meadows. “If the jackpot isn't paid out before then, we expect the carryover to be in the $400,000 range by Monday, Aug. 16.”
“We believe this is a perfect opportunity to get money back in the hands of our loyal bettors and generate some excitement for a large pool,” Mallory added. “Additionally, it will allow enough time for a sizeable carryover to grow or a jackpot to be paid out before the end of our live racing season on Saturday, Sept. 25.”
Prairie Meadows offered a mandatory Jackpot Pick 5 payout earlier this season, on Monday, July 5. A $415,393 jackpot stimulated $2,047,266 in new money wagered into the Pick 5 sequence. Each winning ticket returned $25,072.90.
Prairie Meadows will offer live racing Friday through Monday of the coming week, with the Pick 5 sequence offered on the final five Thoroughbred races of the evening.
First post on Friday and Saturday is at 6 PM CT and first post on Sunday and Monday is at 4 PM CT.
