Pompano Beach, FL…January 24, 2017…Despite the fact that the first four winners in Pompano Park's Pick-5 sequence were 5 to 2, 9 to 2, 3 to 5 and 3 to 1, when Star Treatment won the final leg at 32 to 1, not a single winning ticket was produced and, as a result a $6,217 carryover has sparked a $25,000 Guaranteed Pool for Wednesday night's Pick-5 at the South Florida harness racing oval.
Gabe Prewitt, Director of Racing, said, "with the largest Pick-5 carryover of the season, we have decided to make things even 'better for the bettor' with the largest Pick-5 Guaranteed Pool in track history."
The Pick-5 is conducted on races one through five.
Also, with multiple winning tickets out in the Pompano Super Hi-5 finale, that carryover has ballooned to $24,682 for the Wednesday program.
The entire Super Hi-5 jackpot goes when there is one unique winning ticket. That has happened 12 times thus far in the season, with the highest winning payoff being over $37,000 for the 20 cent ticket.
On Tuesday night, there were multiple winning tickets on the Pick-6, with the 3-3-1-5-2-5 combination worth $7,854.75 for the 50 cent ticket.
Post time for the Wednesday program is 7:20 p.m.
