Thanks! Didn't play the Hi-5, just showing the payoff with the top pair keying it over the next 3. Hi-5 was a pot scoop. Talked with Johnny D today about how overlooked it was on a payout day. I was zeroed in on the must pay P6 and didn't think about the Hi-5 until I saw the result.

I hit a P5 early on when it was introduced for $1,300 and have only played it a handful of times since. I barely play superfectas let alone a Hi-5, but the generally voiced strategy is approaching it as a combined Tri & Exacta, building tickets with a tri box (or key) with an exacta box. (4x3x2)x(3x2) = $144 or (1x3x2)x(4x3) = $72.
