The Jackpot Hi-5 carryover currently sits at $443,868.29 and horseplayers will have just three more opportunities to win the entire jackpot, as Hi-5 wagering will be suspended ahead of the mandatory payout following this Saturday’s card (March 23).

Past mandatory payouts have topped more than $1 million in new money wagered and returned large payouts. A mandatory payout in December of 2016 saw more than $2 million in new money wagered, while in December of 2017 the payout was $49,437.10 for a 20-cent winning ticket.
The Jackpot Hi-5 requires horseplayers to select the top-five finishers in order and features a 20-cent minimum wager with a 15 per cent takeout. The wager is offered nightly on the final-race of each card.
