The 50-cent Pick 5 at the Meadowlands continues to grow in popularity. The average pool size has grown to over $42,000 – nearly double last year’s average of $24,000. Big payouts are likely fueling the growth, as 9 of the last 10 days, the Pick 5 has paid more than $2,400 for 50 cents. Last Friday’s Pick 5 yielded a $21,695 payout, the third highest of the year.
