Has NYRA ever considered seeding the Pik 6 or reserving 10% of the jackpot? What kind of works in poker rooms are bad beat Jackpots that when hit are still substantial for the next potential winner. If the Pik 6 pool always had a balance it could be better attended. Maybe if 5% of ever tix was withheld as a tax and the payout was clipped 5pts? I realize some of the issues but maybe it could work with a bit of engineering.
